“Bush in the Park at Arles” by Vincent van Gogh, created in 1888 in Arles, Bouches-du-Rhône, France, is an exemplar of Post-Impressionist landscape artistry. This ink on paper artwork with dimensions of 17 x 13.5 cm, currently resides in a private collection. The artwork portrays a serene outdoor scene, focusing on a prominent bush in the foreground and accented by trees and human figures in the background. Van Gogh employs a distinctive blend of short and elongated ink strokes, capturing the texture and form of natural elements with remarkable dynamism. The figures appear to be leisurely strolling, adding a narrative layer to the tranquil park setting. The meticulous crosshatching and line work create depth and movement, characteristic of Van Gogh’s intricate detailing and emotive rendering in his later pieces.
