Galerie Mont Olive Trees with Yellow Sky and Sun – Vincent Van Gogh^ Van Gogh

Olive trees provide not only a source of nourishment for the body, but a source of inspiration for the soul, and for no one more than Vincent Van Gogh who painted at least eighteen works of art depicting them. Art historians believe that for Van Gogh, the olive tree was something sacred, symbolizing both the divine and the cycle of life. Here, the vibrant colors perfectly express the late afternoon hues of the Provencal landscape. Van Gogh’s instantly recognizable brushwork with its generous use of paint seems to resonate his art with a visceral energy.
