Vincent van Gogh ֍ Pear Tree in Bloom (1888)

The gnarled trunk and branches of this small pear tree stand out against the light ground. Van Gogh was enraptured by the blossoming fruit trees in Provence. He made a whole series of paintings of the trees in blossom.

Van Gogh had an enormous admiration for Japanese printmaking and was inspired by it. The Japanese artists often chose the spring blossoms as their subject. But Van Gogh didn't just take up the subject. The composition of his painting also looks somewhat 'Japanese', with the tree in the foreground and the high vantage point.

“I want to touch people with my art. I want them to say 'he feels deeply, he feels tenderly'.”

Vincent van Gogh ֍ Decanter and platter with citrus fruits (1887)

Painting a glass object is tricky. Van Gogh made the challenge even greater: he chose a carved carafe and decorative wallpaper. As a result, he had to deal with the depiction of colourful reflections.

The table on which the bowl of lemons also stands can be seen at an oblique angle. This is not ignorance, but intention. In doing so, Van Gogh tried out an element of perspective that he had come to know in Japanese woodcuts. He was fascinated by the strong diagonals that appear in it. He signed and dated his still life. He only did that if he was satisfied with it.
