The Olive Trees by Vincent van Gogh

Print on Cotton Canvas

The olive tree paintings had special significance for van Gogh. A group in May 1889 represented life, the divine and the cycle of life while those from November 1889 arose out of his attempt to symbolize his feelings about Christ in Gethsemane. His paintings of olive pickers demonstrate the relationship between man and nature by depicting one of the cycles of life, harvesting or death. They also convey an example of how individuals, through communion with nature, can connect with the divine.
