Did you know?
Vincent van Gogh created numerous flower still lifes during his career, often using them as studies in color theory and brushstroke technique. His time in Paris (1886-1888) was a period of intense experimentation where he absorbed the influences of Impressionism and Neo-Impressionism, leading to a brighter palette and more dynamic compositions like this one. These floral works were not merely decorative but deeply personal explorations of his artistic vision.
