A Masterpiece of Post-Impressionism
Cypress Against a Starry Sky, also known as Road with Cypresses, is an oil on canvas painting created in 1890 by the legendary Dutch artist Vincent van Gogh. This masterpiece measures 92 x 73 cm and is a stunning example of Post-Impressionism, a style that emphasizes emotional content and symbolic subject matter over realistic depictions.
A Fascinating History
Cypress Against a Starry Sky was painted in May 1890, just a few months before van Gogh's untimely death. In an earlier letter to his brother Theo, van Gogh wrote that cypresses were "always occupying [his] thoughts" and that he found them to be "beautiful in line and proportion." This painting is the last one he made in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, France.
