Vincent van Gogh's "Flowering Orchards" was painted in 1888 during his stay in Arles, France. The painting depicts a flowering orchard with pink and white blossoms against a blue sky.

Van Gogh was drawn to the beauty of the countryside and nature, and often painted landscapes and nature scenes during his time in Arles. The flowering orchards were a recurring theme in his paintings during this period, and he was particularly inspired by the beauty of the almond blossoms.

Van Gogh's time in Arles was a period of intense creativity for him, during which he produced many of his most famous works. However, it was also a time of great personal struggle, as he suffered from mental illness and experienced bouts of depression and anxiety.

Despite his struggles, Van Gogh continued to produce stunning works of art, including "Flowering Orchards," which remains a beloved masterpiece of Impressionism.
