An oil painting of a sweet landscape with mountains. In the foreground you can see part of a blossom tree with pink blossom flowers. The style is rough and fast. The mountains are somewhat blurred which creates a depth effect. The branch with blossom in the foreground emphasises the depth effect through coulisse effect. The sky is greenish and almost cloudless. The different colour gives it a bit of an alien and alienating atmosphere. The use of colour is sunny. The blossom tree also gives the scene a bit of a Japanese touch. Here, the pink blossom is assosiated with the cherry blossom.Also called Sakura, Sakura literally means cherry blossom. But in Japan, the Japanese use sakura to specifically refer to the flowering period of the cherry tree. In addition, the cherry blossom symbolises spring and a new beginning. This makes it a magical period for many Japanese, they are only too happy to get married under the blossoming trees. The Sakura flowers symbolise happiness, love, spring and especially a new beginning. Because the blossom is so short, cherry blossom trees also represent human mortality. They remind us how short and precious life is. This tradition is deeply rooted in Japanese culture.
