Flowering Plum Orchard

The decoration by Ceramica Francesco De Maio for the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, inspired by Van Gogh’s famous painting Flowering Plum Orchard with its distinctly Japanese character, embodies the fascinating encounter between two distinct artistic worlds. The ceramics, rich in elements reminiscent of Japanese refinement, transform the original painting into an elegant and striking work of art. Each majolica reflects the harmonious fusion of Van Gogh’s vibrant aesthetics and the serene elegance of Japanese tradition, creating an extraordinary blend of cultures through the craftsmanship of Francesco De Maio.
The fascinating detail of the delicate hand-decorated flowers that reproduce those in Van Gogh’s famous work Flowering Plum Orchard is transformed into a ceramic surface that glows a vibrant red. Each majolica of this unique decoration captures the floral essence with a modern and refined style, combining the craftsmanship of contemporary handicraft with the timeless beauty of the flowers painted by Van Gogh. The ceramic surface thus becomes a bridge between the past and the present, offering a unique aesthetic experience that enhances spaces with a touch of elegance and history.
