Trees
[edit]The trees in the picture have gone from oaks, to scrub oaks, to kermès oaks. Is this supported by any source? --LukeSurl t c 21:19, 9 September 2013 (UTC)
- The area he was painting is called the Garrigue. Naturally, people comment on Van Gogh's love for the region and expound on the vegetation. Abductive (reasoning) 00:31, 10 September 2013 (UTC)
- Anyway, the present form of the article, in which van Gogh's own description of "very small twisted oaks" is given, and a link to the Garrigue article wherein the flora is listed, is very good. Abductive (reasoning) 06:43, 10 September 2013 (UTC)
Identity of Mustad's advisor
[edit]There is some question as to whether it was the French Ambassador or some other collector. Don't delete the line "according to his family". Amandajm (talk) 06:46, 10 September 2013 (UTC)
