Roses (1890) — Vincent van Gogh
Spring light in paint. Van Gogh gathers full-headed roses in a simple vase—thick petals, cool greens, and lively strokes that make the blooms seem freshly cut. Lush, serene, and quietly radiant, it’s a late still life with unmistakable vitality.
Why it captivates
-
Living colour — harmonies of green, white, and soft pinks that feel sun-washed and fresh.
-
Expressive texture — palpable impasto giving petals and leaves sculptural depth.
-
Calm composition — a grounded vase and flowing stems balanced with ease.
-
Signature touch — energetic brushwork that breathes across the surface.
-
Timeless décor — gentle palette suits classic and contemporary rooms alike.
What you’ll see
A brimming vase of roses on a tabletop: thick, curling petals, sweeping leaf forms, and a cool green ground that sets the flowers aglow. The paint sits richly on the surface, combining structure and spontaneity—fresh cut, freshly seen.
A richer historical frame
Painted in spring 1890, this still life belongs to Van Gogh’s late period, when he explored clear, luminous palettes and confident impasto to capture nature’s immediacy. Simple subjects—flowers, fruit, fields—became studies in light, colour, and renewal.
