Beskrivning
A powerful depiction of towering cypress trees, rendered with the thick, rhythmic brushwork characteristic of Vincent van Gogh's late period in Saint-Rémy.
Painted in June 1889, Two Cypresses captures the towering, flame-like forms of cypress trees that fascinated Vincent van Gogh during his stay at the asylum in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence. The artist observed these trees as dark, vertical anchors against the turbulent skies of southern France. He employed thick, impasto brushwork to build the surface of the canvas, creating a sense of physical movement within the foliage. The trees dominate the composition, rising from a foreground of golden, sun-drenched earth towards a sky filled with swirling clouds and a crescent moon.
Van Gogh used a palette of deep greens, browns, and blacks for the trees, contrasting these with the lighter, cooler tones of the sky and the warm yellows of the ground. The application of paint is rhythmic and deliberate, with each stroke following the contours of the forms. This technique gives the work a tactile quality, where the direction of the paint suggests the force of the wind and the organic growth of the trees. The background features rolling hills rendered in softer, undulating lines, providing a sense of distance that balances the heavy presence of the cypresses in the foreground.
This work belongs to a series of studies focusing on the cypress, a subject the artist described as beautiful in line and proportion, similar to an Egyptian obelisk. By focusing on these trees, Van Gogh explored the tension between the stillness of the earth and the motion of the atmosphere. The painting remains a primary example of his ability to translate personal observation into a highly individual visual language, where colour and texture convey the energy of the natural world. The Metropolitan Museum of Art holds this piece in its collection, where it continues to be studied for its technical execution and its place within the artist's late period.

Artist Biography
Vincent Van Gogh
Van Gogh did not start painting until he was twenty-seven. Before that he tried being an art dealer (fired), a schoolteacher (quit), a bookshop assistant (quit), and a preacher in a Belgian mining town (dismissed for excessive zeal, which in this context meant giving away his clothes and sleeping on the floor). He had a pattern of total commitment followed by total collapse.
He taught himself to draw by copying prints and working through textbooks. His brother Theo, an art dealer in Paris, sent money every month for the rest of Vincent's life. Without Theo there are no paintings. The letters between them, over 600, are one of the most complete records of any artist's thinking. Van Gogh wrote about colour theory, composition, what he ate, what he read, how much he spent on paint. He was articulate and well-read and not, despite the popular version, simply mad.
He moved to Paris in 1886 and encountered Impressionism. The palette changed immediately: from the dark browns of his Dutch period to the colours people actually associate with his work. He met Gauguin, Pissarro, Signac, Toulouse-Lautrec. He absorbed Pointillism and Japanese prints. Then he moved to Arles in the south of France, where the light was better and people were fewer.
The Arles period produced Sunflowers, The Bedroom, Starry Night Over the Rhone. The breakdown followed: the argument with Gauguin, the severed ear (he cut part of his left ear, not the whole thing), the asylum at Saint-Remy, and then Auvers-sur-Oise, where he painted seventy canvases in seventy days before dying from a gunshot wound at thirty-seven. He sold one painting during his lifetime, or possibly two. Theo died six months later.
