View of Arles with Orchards in Blossom Postcard — Vincent van Gogh | Zolota Ptakha

Painted in the spring of 1889, this view sets the rooftops of Arles in the distance and lets a foreground of flowering orchards do the work of the season. Van Gogh was endlessly drawn to blossom that year; the canvas takes a familiar Provençal vantage and turns it into a picture about the moment of return to colour after winter.
