Trees – Vincent van Gogh reproduction

Trees by Vincent van Gogh: light within the foliage

Painted in Paris in July 1887, Trees by Vincent van Gogh presents a close-up view of trunks and vegetation. Two large trees frame a smaller one whose branches spread out in the centre. The greens of the foliage mingle with touches of yellow, white and blue, while a diagonal branch crosses the lower part of the image.

A landscape built from touches of colour

The vertical framing places the viewer among the trees. The sky can be glimpsed through the leaves, without forming a large open area. The trunks give the composition its structure; around them, small brushstrokes change direction and suggest the density of the foliage. On the ground, browns and greys accompany the green shades, with a few red-orange accents.

The scene reveals itself at two distances: from afar, you recognise the arrangement of the trees; up close, you follow the brush marks and transitions between shade and light. This interplay brings life to a subject with no figures or narrative event.
