“Vase with Poppies, Cornflowers, Peonies and Chrysanthemums” is a flower painting by Vincent van Gogh, created in 1886 using oil on canvas. This artwork is part of the Post-Impressionism movement and is currently housed in the Kröller-Müller Museum in Otterlo, Netherlands.
The artwork showcases a vivid and dynamic bouquet of flowers, including poppies, cornflowers, peonies, and chrysanthemums. The composition is densely packed with various blooms, highlighting Van Gogh’s characteristic use of vibrant colors and expressive brushwork. The flowers burst forth from a central green vase, with the background offering a dark contrast that brings out the vivid reds, whites, and blues of the flowers. The naturalistic arrangement of the flowers, combined with the bold and gestural application of paint, creates a sense of liveliness and movement, making this piece a compelling example of Van Gogh’s exploration of color and form within the floral genre.
