About the artwork:

"Irises," painted by Vincent van Gogh in 1890, is a vibrant and emotive representation of the flowers that captivated the artist during his stay at the asylum in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence. The composition features a cluster of irises rendered in rich blues and purples, interspersed with touches of yellow and green, creating a dynamic contrast. Van Gogh's characteristic brushwork imbues the scene with a sense of movement and life, reflecting his deep appreciation for nature. The painting not only showcases the beauty of the irises but also conveys the artist's emotional state, as it was created during a tumultuous period in his life, making it a poignant testament to his genius.

  • Title Irises (also catalogued as Vase with Irises against a Pink Background; F680, JH1978)
  • Artist Vincent Willem van Gogh (Dutch Post-Impressionist; Zundert, Netherlands, 30 March 1853 - Auvers-sur-Oise, France, 29 July 1890)
  • Year of creation 1890 (painted in May 1890, in Van Gogh's last weeks at the Saint-Paul-de-Mausole psychiatric hospital in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, shortly before he left for Auvers-sur-Oise. This horizontal still life is one of two iris bouquet paintings Van Gogh made of the same vase in May 1890; the upright pendant Vase with Irises Against a Yellow Background is at the Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam. Van Gogh sought what he called a "harmonious and soft" effect in the Met canvas by placing the "violet" flowers against a "pink background" — but the red pigments he used were fugitive, and over time the pink background has faded to off-white and the originally violet irises have turned blue. The intended contrast of pinks against greens has thus been largely lost; technical analysis at the Met has allowed digital reconstruction of the original colors. The painting was made together with two companion Roses bouquets — one upright and one horizontal — also splitting violet-yellow and pink-green contrasts. All four canvases were reunited at the Met in 2015 for the exhibition Van Gogh: Irises and Roses for the first time in 125 years)
