Vincents Gardens: Paintings And Drawings By Van Gogh

A beautifully produced gift book for gardeners and art lovers, featuring Vincent van Gogh’s garden and flower paintings and drawings. Van Gogh never owned a garden but often painted outdoor spaces and natural objects, inspired by each location’s unique character. Ralph Skea surveys the gardens most dear to Van Gogh—from parsonage gardens in the Netherlands to Parisian city parks, from Provençal flower beds to asylum gardens in Saint-Rémy. The book includes joyous paintings of blooming plants and studies of lilacs, roses, irises, and pine trees, with 57 color and 18 black-and-white illustrations.
