| Description |
Nederlands: Op 31 januari 1890 schreef Theo aan Vincent dat hij en zijn vrouw Jo een zoon hadden gekregen die ze de naam Vincent Willem zouden geven. Kort daarna maakte Vincent voor zijn neefje dit schilderij van bloeiende amandeltakken: één van de eerste tekenen van een nieuwe lente. Theo en Jo ontvingen het doek begin mei en hingen het op een ereplaats in hun appartement, boven de piano.
English: On 31 January 1890, Theo wrote to Vincent that his wife Jo had bore them a son, whom they planned to name Vincent Willem. Shortly thereafter Vincent painted this picture of blooming almond branches - one of the first signs of spring - for his new nephew. Theo and Jo received the canvas in early May, and gave it a place of honour in their apartment, above the piano. |
