The cherry blossom is out now in the Kungsträdgården in Stockholm mirroring the blossom painted by Bonnard. This is L'Amandier (c1930), the almond tree in the garden of Le Cannet (now the Musée Bonnard which holds this painting), and it was also the subject of his last painting in 1945. Like Vincent Van Gogh and David Hockney who were also drawn to spring blossom late in life, Bonnard said, ‘Every spring it forces me to paint it’.
