Irises Vincent van Gogh
Frame included
In May 1890, just before Van Gogh checked himself out of the Saint-Rémy asylum, he painted four vibrant bouquets of spring flowers—the only ambitious still lifes he created during his year-long stay: two of irises and two of roses, with contrasting color schemes and formats. In the museum's "Irises," he sought to achieve a "harmonious and soft" effect by placing the "violet" flowers against a "pink background," but these have faded over time due to his use of delicate red pigments. Another piece from this series, "Roses" (1993.400.5), hangs in the adjacent gallery. Both paintings belonged to the artist’s mother until her death in 1907.
It is printed on premium glossy adhesive vinyl and framed, as seen in the photo.
