The artwork titled “Still Life Vase with Roses” was created by Vincent van Gogh in 1890 in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, France. This piece, a quintessential example of the Post-Impressionism movement, is painted with oil on canvas and measures 71 by 90 cm. It belongs to the genre of flower paintings.
In the artwork, a luxuriant bouquet of roses is arranged in an earthen vase. The vibrant colors of the flowers, ranging from soft pinks and whites to subtle shades of green and brown, vividly stand out against a swirling, light-colored background. The composition captures the delicate beauty and ephemeral nature of the roses, rendered with van Gogh’s characteristic bold and expressive brushstrokes. The painting exudes a sense of natural charm and quiet elegance, encapsulating the tranquil and contemplative mood often attributed to van Gogh’s still life works during this period of his life.
