About the piece

Created in 1887 during Vincent van Gogh’s transformative years in Paris, 'Undergrowth' exemplifies his move toward a brighter palette and expressive technique. Using thick, staccato brushstrokes, the artist captures the intricate play of light and shadow across ivy-clad trunks and a carpet of greenery, transforming a simple woodland scene into a vibrant, tactile experience.
