Tree Roots framed Van Gogh replica, hand-painted in oil on canvas

Van Gogh’s last painting ‘Tree Roots’ was long considered an abstract painting. Had Vincent’s style developed into yet another direction? Or was it his mood on the day of the gunshot that made him paint differently?

But no, this ‘abstract’ painting appeared to be Van Gogh's typical look on nature like he showed us many times before. The colorful brushstrokes reprented actual tree roots! In 2020 the exact location of the tree roots were discovered in Rue Daubigny in Auvers-sûr-Oise.

Quite a masterpiece to end a 10 year painting career with. Just 5 years before Van Gogh painted the dark Potato Eaters in Nuenen. An incredible development of style that is representative to just a select group of master painters.

This 100-year-old beautifully restored Italian frame has the ideal double square proportions that Van Gogh loved in Auvers-sûr-Oise. The gold gives the tree roots their majestic presence. Some would walk by without noticing. Van Gogh suggested: "Keep your love of nature, for that is the true way to understand art more and more."
