BLOSSOMING CHESTNUT BRANCHES

Blossoming Chestnut Branches is an oil on canvas that was painted in 1890 by Dutch artist Vincent van Gogh. Vincent died just a few months after painting Blossoming Chestnut Branches.

Vincent was staying in Auvers-sur-Oise where he was receiving treatment from Dr. Gachet. Gachet himself was a hobby artist. Van Gogh was suffering from depression and other emotional and mental problems.

Vincent had arranged some blooming chestnut branches and some pink rhododendrons in a vase for the painting. Note the bold use of colours by Vincent in Blossoming Chestnut Branches. Vincent gave the painting as a gift to Dr. Gachet.

The painting has an interesting history in that it was stolen on February 10, 2008 but later recovered on February 18.
