*** About the Almond Blossoms: Created in 1890 while Van Gogh was residing in the Saint-Rémy-de-Provence asylum, "Almond Blossoms" was a gift to his brother Theo and sister-in-law Jo, celebrating the birth of their son Vincent Willem. Reflecting his profound admiration for Japanese art, Van Gogh adopted elements like the bold outlines and absent horizon typical of ukiyo-e prints, which lend the painting its ethereal and flat appearance. This technique not only breaks away from traditional Western perspectives in art but also harmonizes with the symbolic meaning of new life and hope, aptly represented by the springtime blossoms. Currently, this masterpiece is part of the permanent collection at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, drawing countless admirers each year who seek to revel in its exquisite tranquility and historical significance.
