Framed Acacia Art
With its roots in deep in mythology, the acacia tree has been inspiring artists to create framed acacia artwork for centuries. The Greek gods were said to have been born under an acacia tree and it is often referred to as the tree of life in many different cultures. The Egyptians used Acacia as a fixative for their ink and to coat the bandages of their mummies.

The Dutch born painter came from two art dealer parents and travelled around Europe and the UK during his early years. He first began drawing in 1883 in Nuenen where he would pay boys to bring him bird’s nests for him to use as the subject matter for his artwork.
Van Gough painted many pictures of weavers in their cottages during his time in Paris and eventually started doing still life portraits including his Still Life with Straw Hat and Pipe and Still Life with Earthen Pot and Clogs. He later worked in Paris and painted his framed acacia art print Acacia in Flowe.
