Orchard in Blossom Vincent van Gogh Date: 1888; Arles, Bouches-du-Rhône, France * Style: Post-Impressionism Genre: landscape Media: oil, canvas Location: Private Collection
Orchard in Blossom (F406) was painted for Theo for May Day with "a frenzy of impastos of the faintest yellow and lilac on the original white mass."[29] To his friend Émile Bernard he provided more detail: "Here is another orchard, rather simple as a composition: a white tree, a small green tree, a square patch of green, lilac soil, an orange roof, a large blue sky."[30]
Orchard in Blossom (F511) The Van Gogh Museum's version of Orchard in Blossom was painted in April.[31] Vincent asked Theo to "shave off" some of the impasto in this painting. Apparently he did not reline, a process of heavy pressure and heat to flatten the surface, because sharp edges of thick impasto remain on the painting.
