Road with Cypresses 1890

"Road with Cypresses" (1890), one of Vincent van Gogh's last paintings, is a striking example of his Post-Impressionist style. The towering cypress tree, often seen as a symbol of death, dominates the composition, while the swirling brushstrokes and vibrant colors depict the movement of the night sky and the road winding into the distance. The painting is characterized by its emotional intensity, reflecting van Gogh's turbulent inner world. It is housed in the Kröller-Müller Museum in Otterlo, Netherlands, and is a powerful reminder of the artist's unique artistic vision.
