Did you know?
During his time in Paris (1886-1888), Van Gogh was heavily influenced by Impressionism and Neo-Impressionism, which led him to lighten his palette and experiment with more vibrant colors and distinct brushstrokes. This period was crucial for the development of his signature style, moving away from the darker tones of his Dutch period, as seen in this lively floral arrangement.
