Irises by Vincent van Gogh

Irises by Vincent van Gogh Oil on canvas 71.0 x 93.0 cm. Saint-Rémy: May, 1889

Vincent van Gogh painted Irises shortly after he voluntarily admitted himself into the St.-Paul-de-Mausole asylum in Saint-Rémy, France. Irises was painted in the garden to the south of the men’s quarters–the only area Van Gogh was permitted to work during the first month of his confinement. The scene is a symphony of vibrant colours with the magnificent violet iris petals dominating the rich red soil and the bright orange marigolds in the background. Now located in Los Angeles: Getty Center
