"My wife and I are very happy with the Olive Grove. The thickness of the paint and the detail is amazing. We are thinking of ordering another one from the olive tree series. Best regards Harry and Ann."
Olive Grove replica in oil on canvas
Van Gogh Studio is located in Amsterdam, near the Van Gogh museum where we can study the original works. Our paintings are all painted in oil on canvas by mainly Dutch artists who have studied Van Gogh's technique, including brushstrokes, color mixing, atmosphere and the rhythm of painting.
Refined Yet Bold Approach
Van Gogh brings the same swirling effect to the sky as we see in the windswept grass and leaves below, melding all of the elements into an enchanting whole. There is a unity to all things, brought together by this all-encompassing and intoxicating energy.
Like his friend and fellow painter
Paul Gauguin with whom he had recently lived, Van Gogh was seeking to heighten the experience of linear rhythms and colour. He was going beyond realism into the realms of emotional and symbolic expression.
Self-Imposed Exile in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence
In the weeks prior to this painting’s creation, Van Gogh had chosen to take up residence in an asylum in provincial France. The calm and order it offered him resulted in some of his greatest masterpieces, of which Olive Groves is certainly one.
This painting was part of the olive tree series, which Van Gogh painted during his supervised sojourns outside the walls of the property.
Seeking the Divine in Nature
Van Gogh felt that it was through nature that he was best able to connect with the metaphysical. In his efforts to depict those aspects he has embraced the symbolic use of colour, here using
blues to represent the divine imbuing the olive
trees.
His repeating lines of contrasting colours contribute to a pulsating, dreamlike atmosphere.
