Did you know?
Vincent van Gogh often used flower still lifes as a means to explore color theory and express his emotional state, especially during his later years. This painting, created in 1890, reflects his distinctive impasto technique and bold use of complementary colors, typical of his final period in Auvers-sur-Oise where he produced a significant number of his most famous works.
