Large blossom branches like this against a blue sky were one of Van Gogh’s favourite subjects. Almond trees flower early in spring, making them a symbol of new life. Van Gogh borrowed the subject, the bold outlines and the positioning of the tree in the picture plane from Japanese printmaking. This animation of the painting ‘Almond Blossom’ is made by Andrey Zakirzyanov Thank you for using Vincent’s work to inspire your creativity 👏 | Van Gogh Museum
