1889, Vincent van Gogh, Window in the Studio -- Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York) (special exhibition)
From the museum label: There is no more compelling proof of Van Gogh's abiding - if unspoken - preoccupation with the cypresses, as summer gave way to fall, than this view of his studio interior. Two images of the motif hold pride of place on the wall to the right of his arched window overlooking the hospital's grounds. The upper one, Trees in the Garden of the Asylum (on view at right), marked his triumphant return to painting the cypresses out of doors. It would remain his most enterprising study of the trees in plein air, notwithstanding the ambition hosted by the larger image below, in which a dynamic, flamelike cypress occupies the same corner of the composition as in The Starry Night and finds a counterpart in the flamboyant poplars he set forth that same week (displayed on the adjacent wall).
