Vincent van Gogh, Blossoming Almond (copy). Oil on canvas. 60"x 60"
“Blossoming Almond Tree” is one of Vincent Van Gogh’s most famous pieces of art. He was inspired to create it to show his love for his nephew, Vincent, who was his namesake. Van Gogh (1853-1890) is arguably one of the most influential artists of the 19th century. He was mostly self-taught and spent a good part of his life dedicated to traveling and painting. Van Gogh was largely inspired by the Impressionists. This painting now hangs in the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam.
