Oil on canvas. Vincent Van Gogh (1853-1890) was a Dutch painter and draftsman. Except for some brief periods of formal instruction, van Gogh was self-taught; he collected prints and reproductions to study and copy, especially those of Millet. His life and work are legendary in the history of art, making him the quintessential misunderstood, tormented, even insane artist, who sold only one work in his lifetime but whose paintings achieved record auction sales prices after his death. Van Gogh was active as an artist for only ten years, during which time he produced around 1000 watercolors, drawings and sketches and nearly 1250 paintings. His styles included an early dark, Realist style and a later colorful, intense, expressionistic style. Almost more than on his oeuvre, his fame has been based on the extensive, diary-like correspondence he maintained, in particular with his brother, Theo.

Lovely submitted by lstorc on August 28, 2018, 7:32pm This brings to mind fall. The colors are brilliant!

The Mulberry Tree submitted by c_zhang on June 16, 2019, 6:25pm I love the warm colors of the trees against the cool colors of the background.

The Mulberry Tree submitted by SBNB on June 17, 2019, 7:45pm This is a beautiful painting. It’s almost like the tree is made of flames.

The Mulberry Tree submitted by Varshini on June 17, 2019, 11:33pm I used to have a mulberry tree in my backyard, and it looked nothing like this! I like how the artist is using his imagination to make this painting.

The Mulberry Tree submitted by JY 2005 on June 19, 2019, 11:13pm I like the different reds, oranges, and yellows to paint the leaves on the tree. Looks like fall in this print.

The Mulberry Tree submitted by i'm a blobfish on June 21, 2019, 11:03pm I like how the artist make it seem as if the tree was on fire. The reddish colors and the deep blue sky have great contrast. Though if I had a tree like that, instead of worrying about it burning down, I'd be worried that it would burn down my house.

The Mulberry Tree submitted by KatyaS on July 12, 2019, 7:04pm Vincent van Gogh is the best!

beautiful submitted by .-.-.-. on July 26, 2019, 8:11pm I love this color contrast! It looks very beautiful! this is my style. 4/5 stars.

pretty good submitted by rawan on August 2, 2019, 12:58pm I love how this is realistic and the tree must have taken a log time to make because it has so much lines and texture to it. 4/5

The Mulberry Tree submitted by crp on August 16, 2019, 11:22pm Stunning- this reminds me of a tree in a cliff but during the fall. It's one of his best works imho.

Gorgeous submitted by maria.wyche on July 23, 2020, 10:54am The colors used in this artwork are wonderful! I love how much contrast there is.

The Mulberry Tree submitted by ryan.lorenz on August 24, 2022, 3:10pm Unrealistic, yet insanely satisfying.
