Vincent Van Gogh
Orchard Bordered by Cypresses
1888
Oil on canvas
Promised gift of William L. Bernhard ’54 and Catherine G. Cahill

This newly gifted van Gogh painting, yet another of his masterworks, is very unlike the other two the Gallery owns. And it is a beautiful rendition of an orchard in the south of France in full spring blossom, laden with myriad strokes of brilliant color.
