*** About "Grass and Butterflies": Created during one of the most tumultuous periods of Van Gogh’s life, this painting dates back to his time spent at the Saint-Paul Asylum in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence during the year 1889. Amidst his mental struggles, Van Gogh found solace in painting the world around him, capturing its transient beauty with his thick, emotive brushstrokes that became a hallmark of his style. This piece reflects the Post-Impressionist movement’s inclination towards expressing emotional and psychological depths through distorted forms and exaggerated colors. Inspired by his surroundings and driven by his internal battles, Van Gogh painted "Grass and Butterflies" as a form of escapism, channeling his unrest into creativity. Unfortunately, the exact whereabouts of this original painting today remain uncertain, leaving its physical appreciation to be desired by many art historians and enthusiasts worldwide.
