*** About the Tree Roots: Tree Roots was one of the last paintings created by Vincent van Gogh, dated to July 1890, mere days before his tragic demise. This period of his life was immensely productive yet psychologically tumultuous, influencing his distinctive swift and emotional brushwork. The painting’s style is marked by an urgent and expressive application of color and form, typical of Van Gogh’s post-impressionistic approach. Inspired by the natural environment around Auvers-sur-Oise, where he spent his final days, Van Gogh chose the tangled web of tree roots as a powerful motif reflecting his inner state and possibly his feelings of entanglement in his mental struggles. Currently, the painting’s whereabouts are known to be part of a private collection, seldom displayed publicly, adding to its mystique and elusive charm.
