Cabanes de bois parmi les oliviers et cyprès
Description
Vincent van Gogh, recovering from a mental breakdown, expressed a fierce determination for work in a letter to his brother. This resolve fueled an extraordinary burst of creativity in autumn 1889 during his stay in Saint-Rmy-de-Provence. Amidst the Provenal landscape, he painted Cabanes de bois parmi les oliviers et cyprs in October 1889, capturing the sun-drenched scenery with olive trees and cypresses. Van Gogh, residing in Saint-Paul-de-Mausole, an asylum on the outskirts of Saint-Rmy, found solace and inspiration in the surroundings. His fascination with olive trees, depicted in a series of works, symbolized his struggle and served as a tonic for his mental well-being. The painting, acquired by his brother Theo and later passing through notable collections, reflects Van Gogh's mature style and his profound connection to the vibrant landscape of Provence.
