The Flowering Orchards is a series of paintings executed by Vincent van Gogh in Arles, spring 1888. Three triptychs resulted from this effort.
[edit] 1888
Mid-April 1888, Van Gogh resumed his work on the flowering orchards, and grouped them in triptychs. By this time it was already clear that Mauve's widow was to receive the first version of his "Flowering peach trees", a copy of which was to be the central piece of the first triptych.
These were "toiles de 25".
The center piece of the second was to be F.405, with 73 x 46 to be considered a "toile de 20".
The wings of the third tripych were F513 and F551, both "toile de 25".
There were some extra paintings.
