The book contextualizes this work within Van Gogh's artistic production and explores its deeply personal, often religious resonance. It also features in-depth findings on the artist's technique, materials, and palette resulting from a three-year cross-disciplinary conservation science research project that rigorously examined all 15 paintings. Of particular interest are new discoveries concerning Van Gogh's use of unstable pigments, his application of paint <i>en plein air</i> versus in the studio, and the chronology of the series. Produced between June and December 1889, this bold and highly experimental series employs the motif as a constant in the artist's passionate investigation of the expressive powers of color, line, and subject. Painting the olive trees at different times of day and in different seasons was a quest to unlock their quintessential features, which to him represented the spirit of Provence.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Nienke Bakker </b>is a senior curator of paintings at the Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam. <b>Nicole R. Myers</b> is Barbara Thomas Lemmon Senior Curator of European Art at the Dallas Museum of Art.
