Did you know?
During his time in Paris (1886-1888), Van Gogh painted numerous floral still lifes, often as an exercise to explore color theory and brushwork, moving away from the darker tones of his Dutch period. These flower studies, including chrysanthemums, allowed him to experiment with the vibrant palettes of Impressionism and Neo-Impressionism, marking a significant shift in his artistic development.
