“Vase with Zinnias and Geraniums” is an oil on canvas painting created in 1886 by the renowned artist Vincent van Gogh. This artwork belongs to the Post-Impressionism art movement and the flower painting genre. Currently, it is housed in the National Gallery of Canada, located in Ottawa, Canada.
The artwork displays a vibrant and textured arrangement of zinnias and geraniums within a green vase. The flowers, predominantly in shades of red, orange, yellow, and white, stand out against a dark, somewhat abstract background. Van Gogh’s characteristic brushwork and impasto technique are evident, giving the flowers a sense of life and vividness. The composition exudes a dynamic yet harmonious interplay of colors and forms, reflecting the artist’s intense observation of nature and his masterful manipulation of paint.
