About this work

Original size: 93.4 × 74 cm
Collection: The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York

Two cypresses tower almost to the top of the canvas, their dark green flames writhing against a sky of swirling blue and a hillside dotted with white and ochre flowers. Van Gogh painted it in late June 1889, soon after entering the asylum at Saint-Rémy, when the cypress had seized his attention: beautiful in line and proportion, he thought, like an Egyptian obelisk, and the most difficult dark note in a sun-drenched landscape to get exactly right. It is one of two close-up vertical views of the trees he made that summer; the other is in the Kröller-Müller Museum in Otterlo. The paint is thick and ridged, every stroke following the twist of the foliage. Van Gogh sent it to the Salon des Indépendants in Paris in 1890. The Metropolitan Museum of Art bought it in 1949 with the Rogers Fund.

This print reproduces the whole work, uncropped, from a high-resolution scan of the original. The original is in the public domain.

Is this the whole painting, or a crop?

The whole work, uncropped. The image fills the print at the painting's own proportions; nothing is trimmed to fit a frame.

Is Cypresses in the public domain?

Yes. Vincent van Gogh (1853–1890) died more than 70 years ago and the work was published before 1929, so the painting itself is public domain. This print is a reproduction made from a high-resolution scan of the original, which is held by The Metropolitan Museum of Art.

What is it printed on?

Heavyweight matte fine-art paper with pigment inks, made to order in 12×18, 16×24 and 24×36 inches; the two larger sizes are also offered framed. Colours are matched to the scan, not brightened.

When was Cypresses painted, and in what medium?

Cypresses dates from 1889 and was made in oil on canvas; the original measures 93.4 × 74 cm.

What size works above a sofa or bed?

For a standard three-seat sofa or a queen bed, 24×36 inches reads as a single statement piece; 16×24 suits a narrower wall or a pairing. The print's proportions follow the original, so a landscape-format painting is wider than it is tall.
