Roses was painted shortly before van Gogh's release from the asylum at Saint-Remy. It is among his largest and most beautiful still lifes, with an exuberant bouquet in the glory of full bloom.
Roses was painted shortly before van Gogh's release from the asylum at Saint-Remy. It is among his largest and most beautiful still lifes, with an exuberant bouquet in the glory of full bloom. The undulating ribbons of paint, applied in diagonal strokes, animate the canvas and play off the furled forms of flowers and leaves. Originally, the roses were pink -- the color has faded -- and would have created a contrast of complementary colors with the green. Such combinations of complements fascinated van Gogh.
Custom made for the gallery, this sleek metal bookmark commemorates van Gogh's work, and, while featured in the National Gallery of Art's permanent collection, you can carry Roses with you wherever you read!
