I have only ever seen photographs
of Piet Mondrian’s The Red Tree. While this Dutch artist is most famous
for his red, yellow, and blue grid compositions, I wanted to share this very
lovely work that I hope to see in the Netherlands sometime soon. Another Dutch artist less known
for his tree paintings is Vincent van Gogh. His painting The
Starry Night is undoubtedly a masterpiece, but I think van Gogh’s trees are
equally interesting and absolutely beautiful. The link below allows you to see individual brush strokes on
some of van Gogh’s tree paintings.
This is a great feature that a lot of museums are starting to share, still there is nothing like seeing a work of art in person!
