Almond Blossoms is one of Vincent van Gogh’s best known paintings and is noteworthy in that both Van Gogh and his closest family held the work in high regard. This painting is one of a small handful that Van Gogh produced with a particular person in mind–in this case, his brother and sister-in-law’s newborn baby. Van Gogh was deeply moved when Theo and Johanna chose to name the child Vincent and he always harbored a great deal of affection for the child. Van Gogh painted Almond Blossoms to honor his namesake and it remains a tour-de-force, both the product of Vincent’s fondness for his nephew as well as the Japanese art which he so greatly admired.

Van Gogh’s deepest longing was to make a difference for his fellow human beings. After finding he was unsuited to be an art dealer or a preacher, he decided at the age of 27 to become an artist. At that time Van Gogh had not yet shown much evidence of special artistic talent, but with great determination he found his own way. He taught himself his art through long practice and experimentation, and by paying careful attention to other people’s work and advice. He often chose to express his ideas by depicting everyday subjects.

Van Gogh strove to create a new kind of art, one in which he could give expression to our most profound existential emotions in a direct and universally comprehensible manner. The hundreds of paintings and drawings that Van Gogh produced in a mere decade (1880-1890) made an enormous impact. His art influenced generations of artists, and is still very much alive in our visual culture.

For this collaboration with the Van Gogh Museum we bring you art editions that feature some of the most iconic artworks by one of the most famous artists of all time: Vincent van Gogh.
