Cypresses, 1889, Oil on canvas, 36 3/4 x 29 1/8 in. (93.4 x 74 cm), Paintings, Vincent van Gogh (Dutch, Zundert 1853–1890 Auvers-sur-Oise), Cypresses was painted in late June 1889, shortly after Van Gogh began his yearlong stay at the asylum in Saint-Rémy. The subject, which he found 'beautiful as regards lines and proportions, like an Egyptian obelisk,' both captivated and challenged the artist: 'It’s the dark patch in a sun-drenched landscape, but it’s one of the most interesting dark notes, the most difficult to hit off exactly that I can imagine
