Sprig of flowering almond in a glass

Sprig of Flowering Almond in a Glass, painted in 1888 in Arles, is a delicate and poetic still life by Vincent van Gogh. The painting features a single blooming almond branch placed in a simple glass of water, capturing the quiet elegance of early spring.

With soft, expressive brushstrokes and a luminous palette of pale pinks, greens, and blues, Van Gogh conveys a sense of freshness, fragility, and hope. Inspired by Japanese art and the symbolism of renewal, this intimate work reflects Van Gogh’s deep emotional connection to nature and his ability to find profound beauty in the simplest subjects.
