Motivated by the occasion and moved by his brother Theo naming the child after him, Van Gogh painted Almond Blossom as a gift in celebration of the event. He had previously been greatly inspired by flowering trees, and appreciated their power as symbols of rebirth.

Today, Van Gogh is one of the most loved and respected artists all over the world.
