Olive Trees with Alpilles in the Background — Van Gogh, 1889 Postcard

Vincent van Gogh painted Olive Trees with Alpilles in the Background in June 1889 at Saint-Rémy, when the olive groves around the asylum became his central subject. The Alpilles ridge rises behind while the foreground knotted trees twist in that particular Van Gogh rhythm. The postcard carries that southern light into a hand-held format — for a quiet note, a desk frame, or a Van Gogh landscape collection. From the Vincent van Gogh collection.
