Flowering chestnut branches by Vincent Van Gogh

Flowering chestnut branches by Vincent Van Gogh

Flowering branches symbolize the rebirth of nature, or hope and redemption in a broader sense.

Also in a similar sense, Van Gogh used this motif, referring to the events of his life. On May 16, 1890, by his own will, he left his haven and St. Remy. Upon arrival in Auvers-sur-Oise, near Paris, the artist met lush vegetation. The beginning of spring he spent in the south, in Provence, but the north unexpectedly surprised him the second spring, an inspiring effect that can be seen in his choice of the plot.

In Over Van Gogh painted old chestnut trees in the street with white and pink flowers, whose petals are about to fall, while in the picture the flowering branches of a chestnut painted in the form of a still-life, in a jar along with rhododendrons. As in the works of Van Gogh similar subjects, the unconventional pruning of the picture and the asymmetry of the composition reflect the influence of Japanese engraving.
