Description
Van Gogh’s Trunk of an Old Yew Tree, hand-painted in oil
Painted in Arles in 1888, this striking close-up fills the canvas with the massive, twisting trunk of an old yew tree, its gnarled bark rising against a background of bright green and orange. Van Gogh was fascinated by the stubborn, living energy of old trees; here the writhing trunk, worked in vigorous strokes of brown, green and orange, seems to surge with vitality, a bold, almost portrait-like study of a single tree.
Our version is a hand-painted oil reproduction, brushed onto canvas by a senior studio artist so the twisting trunk and vigorous strokes keep the energy of the original.
Where a tree study belongs
Bold and warm, it suits a study, a living room or a hallway, and pairs beautifully with wood, greenery and natural light.
Choose a hand-painted oil or a fine-art print
Order it as a hand-painted oil for genuine brushwork and impasto relief, finished by an experienced painter and made to order, or as an archival fine-art print for a smooth, even finish at a lower price.
