The artwork titled “Still Life – Pink Roses” was created by Vincent van Gogh in 1890 in Auvers-sur-Oise, France. It is an oil painting on canvas, measuring 32 by 40.5 centimeters, and is currently housed at the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek in Copenhagen, Denmark. As a representation of the Post-Impressionism art movement, the piece falls within the genre of flower painting.
The artwork depicts a vibrant and lush arrangement of pink roses set against a green background. Van Gogh’s characteristic brushstrokes bring dynamism to the foliage and petals, creating a sense of movement and life. The green leaves intertwine with the soft, pale pink roses, highlighting contrasts within a harmonious, natural composition. The rich texture and varied shades of green complement the delicate pink tones to evoke the freshness and fleeting beauty of blooming flowers. The overall effect is an exuberant celebration of nature’s splendor.
