🌲 The Cypresses – Vincent van Gogh (1889)

🌬️ A vertical forest in a whirlwind of sky

Proudly standing in a vibrant Provençal landscape, Van Gogh's cypresses rise like green flames in the shifting sky. The artist transforms these trees into powerful symbols of life, energy, and mystery. In The Cypresses, every brushstroke is a pulse, every curve a breath.

🕰️ Historical context: Saint-Rémy-de-Provence and the plant force

This iconic work was painted in 1889, while Van Gogh was staying at the Saint-Rémy asylum. Fascinated by the cypresses he saw from the gardens, he made them one of the major motifs of his production during this period. More than just a tree, the cypress becomes a vector of emotions, a spiritual pillar, a vertical force in a world in motion.

👁️ Visual analysis: dense material, expressive rhythm

The composition is dominated by four majestic cypresses, whose tops curl into a sky with energetic swirls. On the ground, a sea of flowers and grasses whirls, animated by the same breath. Red, yellow, green, blue... each color vibrates, intertwines. Van Gogh's gesture gives the landscape an almost musical movement, an organic vitality.

💭 Emotional reading: power, spirituality, protective nature

The Cypresses evokes the vital force that inhabits nature, but also protection, stability, grounding. The work evokes both solitude and serenity, the verticality of the living and its fragility. In the background, tiny human figures suggest our modest place within the natural universe. A painting both lyrical and deeply meditative.
