Cypresses 1889 Vincent van Gogh
Cypresses was painted in late June 1889, shortly after Van Gogh began his yearlong stay at the asylum in Saint-R├®my. The subject, which he found " beautiful as regards lines and proportions, like an Egyptian obelisk, " both captivated and challenged the artist: " Its the dark patch in a sun-drenched landscape, but its one of the most interesting dark notes, the most difficult to hit off exactly that I can imagine." One of two close-up views of the " very tall and massive" trees in a vertical format (the other is in the Kr├Âller-M├╝ller Museum, Otterlo), Cypresses was shown in the 1890 Salon des Ind├®pendants

EDITORS COMMENTS

Painted during his stay at the asylum in Saint-Rémy, this artwork reflects the artist's fascination with the beauty and complexity of nature. Van Gogh was particularly drawn to the cypress trees' elegant lines and proportions, comparing them to Egyptian obelisks. In this close-up view of the "very tall and massive" trees, Van Gogh skillfully captures their essence within a vertical format. The dark patch amidst a sun-drenched landscape adds an intriguing contrast that challenged the artist.
