Two Poplars in the Alpilles near Saint-Rémy

Vincent van Gogh painted this landscape during his stay at the asylum of Saint-Paul-de-Mausole in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence. The two towering poplars dominate the composition, their sinuous forms reaching toward a swirling sky rendered in Van Gogh’s characteristic impasto technique. The painting captures the Provençal landscape with vibrant greens and blues, reflecting the artist’s emotional response to nature during one of his most productive periods.
