*** About The Large Plane Trees: Created during Van Gogh’s stay at the asylum in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, "The Large Plane Trees" is a part of a series where roads, often bordered by trees, symbolize hope and continuity amidst personal turmoil. The artwork was painted in November 1889, reflecting Van Gogh's deep connection to nature as a means of solace and recovery. The technique known as impasto—where paint is laid on thickly so that it stands out from the surface—enhances the emotional intensity and textural depth, characteristic of Van Gogh’s later works. The inspiration likely came from the need to convey routine and simplicity as therapeutic means, layered with his unique perspective on the world. Currently, the painting resides in the Cleveland Museum of Art, offering viewers a glimpse into the troubled but brilliant mind of Van Gogh during one of his most productive yet tumultuous phases.
