We just learned about the painting Trees in the Garden in Front of the Entrance to Saint-Paul Hospital.
Another of Van Gogh's paintings is Pine Trees and Dandelions in the Garden of Saint-Paul Hospital.
Van Gogh was in the hospital for a long time, even through the winter.
So when the garden was not green and fresh, he painted the pine trees that were still green.
