Painted as a symbol of budding life in celebration of his nephew’s birth, Vincent Van Gogh’s exquisite “Almond Blossom” captured the beauty of flowers which were often a source for his inspiration. A post-Impressionist Master and tormented artist, Van Gogh (1853 – 1890) was uplifted when he painted outdoors, surrounded by nature. Producing all of his works within a decade, his output one year totaled 150 paintings and drawings. Ironically only selling one painting while he was alive, Van Gogh’s profound influence on the art world is unsurpassed.
