About Vase with Gladioli and Carnations

“Vase with Gladioli and Carnations” is a flower painting created by the renowned Post-Impressionist artist, Vincent van Gogh, in 1886 while he was in Paris, France. Rendered in oil on canvas, this exquisite artwork belongs to a private collection.

The artwork presents a vibrant display of gladioli and carnations arranged in a vase. The vivid red gladioli stand tall and bold against the richly dark background, while the carnations, in lighter shades of white and subtle yellow, provide a contrasting softness. The brushstrokes are characteristically expressive, with Van Gogh’s signature impasto technique adding texture and depth to the composition. The vase, depicted with a combination of earthy tones and reflective light, grounds the floral ensemble, creating a harmonious yet dynamic balance. The overall effect is a celebration of color and form, encapsulating the emotive power of Van Gogh’s artistic vision.
