Orchard in Bloom with Poplars Vincent van Gogh Date: 1889; Arles, Bouches-du-Rhône, France * Style: Post-Impressionism Genre: landscape Media: oil, canvas Location: Bavarian State Painting Collections, Munich, Germany
Around the southern French city of Arles, there were many fruit orchards. Soon after Van Gogh arrived there in 1888, the spring came. He enthusiastically painted a variety of flowering fruit trees: apricot, almond, apple, peach and in this case plum.
But Van Gogh was not satisfied. He took this canvas with him to Saint-Rémy (FR) and kept working on it from memory. 'I have found a way better to express the harmony of the tones', he wrote.
