Before this painting, a cypress was just a cypress. In Provence they grow everywhere, planted as walls against the Mistral, that wind so strong and stubborn it bends nature and breaks people.
Then something shifts. The cypress stops being a tree and becomes a green flame rising into the sky. The flame-like cypress is branded Van Gogh. It will come back as the dark star of Wheat Field with Cypresses. It will come back in Starry Night. It only shows up for masterpieces.
