*** About the "Cottage and Trees in a Landscape": Van Gogh painted this evocative scene in 1885, during his stay in Nuenen, a period where his works deeply explored peasant life and rural landscapes. Influenced by the Realist movement, this piece diverges into an emotional rendering, typifying Van Gogh’s transition toward Expressionism. The brushwork is vigorous, with visible, expressive strokes that lend a tactile quality to the scene, suggesting the emotional turmoil and introspective depths that marked much of Van Gogh's personal and artistic life at the time. The inspiration for this piece possibly originates from his profound connection with nature and his contemplations on the simplicity and hardships of rural life. Currently, the whereabouts of this original painting is not definitively documented, reflecting the mysterious journey many of Van Gogh’s artworks have taken through history.
