Vincent van Gogh - Irises [1890]

Upon his arrival at the asylum in Saint-Rémy in May 1889, Van Gogh painted views of the institution’s overgrown garden. He ignored still-life subjects during his yearlong hospital stay, but before leaving the artist brought his work in Saint-Rémy full circle with four lush bouquets of spring flowers: two of roses and two of irises, in contrasting formats and colour harmonies.
