Two Poplars in the Alpilles near Saint-Rémy

Vincent van Gogh

Cleveland Museum of Art

The painting depicts a landscape with two tall, slender trees with yellow-green foliage. The trees are positioned in the center of the image. The trees have thick trunks and branches that are painted in shades of yellow, orange, and green. The background features rolling hills and mountains painted in shades of blue, green, and yellow. The sky above is blue with white clouds. In the distance, there are buildings and other trees. The painting style is post-impressionist with thick brushstrokes and vivid colors. The artist used impasto techniques to create texture on the canvas. The overall effect is one of dynamic movement and energy. The scene is set near Saint-Rémy, with the Alpilles hills visible. Two poplars stand out against a vibrant sky.
