When Van Gogh just moved to Arles the orchards began to bloom. Van Gogh started painting a series of the colorful impressions of spring. This subject was started as a tradition by Daubigny. A tradition Monet also followed. #Daubigny #Exhibition http://bit.ly/Daubigny-Monet-VanGogh | Van Gogh Museum

He had seen this method of suggesting depth used in Japanese prints. Discover more #VanGoghJapan:http://vangogh.com/stKP30iUUNR | Van Gogh Museum
