Almond Blossom Jewellery Box

Pretty glass box decorated with details from Vincent van Gogh's Almond Blossom (1890), painted in the hospital at Saint-Remy to celebrate the birth of his nephew and namesake, Vincent Willem. Van Gogh chose blossoming almond branches against a clear blue sky as a symbol of new life, hope and the renewal that comes with early spring, working with a tenderness of purpose that gives the painting a warmth quite different from the urgency of his other late canvases. The painting's debt to Japanese woodblock prints is everywhere apparent in its flat, luminous colour and the elegant simplicity of its composition. Print under glass with hinged lid and plush velvet lining with compartments for six rings. A beautiful and meaningful gift for any admirer of Van Gogh or for anyone who keeps their most treasured things in objects chosen with care. Made exclusively for Museum Selection.
