“Small though it is, Sprig of Flowering Almond Blossom in a Glass is like an eloquent proclamation of things to come–not just the arrival of spring, but of the imminent blossoming of van Gogh’s art… The principal image [is] an exquisitely observed almond branch whose every corrugation of twig and delicacy of petal has been rendered with the lightest of touches. If a key to the success of the Arles pictures can be found, it is surely in this fierce attachment to the natural world, now combined with an expansiveness of handling that owes much to the emancipatory experience of Paris (R. Kendall, op. cit., pp. 91-93).”
