Vincent van Gogh - Olive Trees Tapestry

Olive Trees / Olive Grove: Pale Blue Sky, painted in 1889 in oil on canvas by Dutch Post-Impressionist painter Vincent van Gogh in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence. This later olive-grove study uses a paler blue sky and a more restrained, broken range of greens, ochres and blues. Van Gogh painted several orchards in November, comparing his direct observation of Provence with the more abstract approaches of friends such as Gauguin and Bernard. He described his own method as deliberately rustic and grounded in the physical reality of the soil and trees.
