Vincent couldn't stop painting cypress trees. 🌲
Their distinctive shape and colour fascinated him. He compared their tall forms to Egyptian obelisks and believed no one had yet painted them as he saw them.
By then, Vincent had already painted his Sunflowers series. So when he wrote that he'd like to do ‘something with them like the canvases of the sunflowers,’ it revealed just how important cypress trees had become to him.

Did you expect ‘Sunflowers’ to look this bright? 🌻
Van Gogh painted ‘Sunflowers’ using three types of chrome yellow. Over the past 130 years, these pigments have gradually darkened – especially in the flowers and the lower background.
By recreating the pigments Vincent used, scientists tried to reconstruct how the colours originally looked. The result? A bouquet that glows with bright, vivid yellow hues.
