Vincent Van Gogh Peach Tree in Blossom 

Peach Tree in Bloom is a fine art painting in vibrant orange and yellow colors by Vincent van Gogh. Flowering Orchards is a series of paintings executed by Vincent van Gogh in Arles, in southern France in the spring of 1888. Van Gogh arrived in Arles in February 1888 amid a snowstorm; within two weeks the weather changed and the fruit trees were in blossom. Appreciating the symbolism of rebirth, Van Gogh worked with optimism and zeal on about fourteen paintings of flowering trees in the early spring. The ‘trees and orchards in bloom’ paintings Van Gogh made reflect Impressionist, Divisionist and Japanese woodcut influences.

Edgar Degas The Dance Lesson (1879)

Edgar Degas was a French artist famous for his paintings, sculptures, prints, and drawings. He is especially identified with the subject of dance; more than half of his works depict dancers. He is regarded as one of the founders of Impressionism, although he rejected the term, and preferred to be called a realist. The Dance Lesson (sometimes known as The Dancing Lesson) is an 1879 oil-on-panel painting by the French artist Edgar Degas. It is currently kept at National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C.. There is at least one other work by Degas by this title, also made in about 1879, which is a pastel.

The Sleeping Gypsy (French: La Bohemienne endormie) is an 1897 oil painting by French Naive artist Henri Rousseau.

Henri Julien Felix Rousseau was a French Post-Impressionist painter in the Naive or Primitive manner. He was also known as Le Douanier (the customs officer), a humorous description of his occupation as a toll collector.

Camille Pissarro  The Boulevard Montmartre At Night (1897)

Camille Pissarro was a Danish-French Impressionist and Neo-Impressionist painter. His importance resides in his contributions to both Impressionism and Post-Impressionism. Pissarro studied from great forerunners, including Gustave Courbet and Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot. He later studied and worked alongside Georges Seurat and Paul Signac when he took on the Neo-Impressionist style at the age of 54. In 1897 he produced a series of paintings of the Boulevard Montmartre at different times of the day. Pissarro may have been influenced by earlier urban scenes of Manet.
