About Vase with Zinnias and Geraniums

“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.
