“Blossoming Almond Branch in a Glass” is an oil painting on canvas created by Vincent van Gogh in 1888, during his time in Arles, Bouches-du-Rhône, France. This work, belonging to the Post-Impressionism movement, is a floral painting currently housed in the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
The artwork portrays a delicate almond branch in bloom, set in a simple glass. The vibrant green of the stem contrasts with the tender white and pink blossoms, capturing a moment of natural beauty with great sensitivity. The background is composed of muted, earthy tones with a striking horizontal red line that runs behind the glass, adding a subtle yet distinct separation of space. The surface upon which the glass rests is rendered in warm, golden hues with hints of blue, illustrating Van Gogh’s dynamic brushwork and his ability to infuse vitality into everyday subjects.
