About this artwork
This painting is a vibrant still life depicting an overflowing bouquet of various meadow flowers and roses arranged in a vase. It showcases Van Gogh's early exploration of color and texture, created during his time in Paris.
Did you know?
During his time in Paris (1886-1888), Van Gogh created numerous still life paintings of flowers, partly to hone his color theory and brushwork, and partly because they were more affordable to purchase than hiring models. These floral compositions allowed him to experiment with the vibrant palettes he encountered through Impressionist and Neo-Impressionist artists, moving away from the somber tones of his earlier Dutch period.
