Vincent van Gogh Print, Vase of Flowers (1890)

Vase of Flowers by Vincent van Gogh

Painted at Auvers-sur-Oise in 1890, Vase of Flowers is an intimate late still life by Vincent van Gogh. A loosely arranged bouquet of red, pink, cream and white blossoms rises from a pale green vase against a cool blue-green background.

The relatively narrow vertical composition concentrates attention on the flowers themselves. Individual blooms are built from visible strokes and outlined forms, while the subdued background allows the warmer reds and pinks to stand forward.

A Late Auvers Flower Painting

Van Gogh moved to Auvers-sur-Oise in May 1890 and worked with extraordinary intensity during the final weeks of his career. Although broad landscapes dominate our image of the Auvers period, he continued to paint flowers and still lifes alongside views of fields, houses and gardens.

Vase of Flowers demonstrates how readily he could adapt his mature brushwork to a small, concentrated subject.

Colour and Natural Abundance

The bouquet is not arranged with formal symmetry. Flowers extend at different heights and directions, creating a natural sense of growth and movement.

Soft whites and pinks are punctuated by stronger red blooms, while green stems and vase connect the bouquet visually with the cool-toned background.

Vase of Flowers Prints for Interiors

This floral Van Gogh print offers colour without the intensity of his sunflower paintings. Its blue-green background, pale blossoms and red accents work particularly well with sage, teal, cream, dusty pink, natural timber and warm neutral furnishings.

The upright format is ideal for bedrooms, kitchens, living rooms and narrower wall spaces or as part of a botanical gallery wall.

About Vincent van Gogh

Vincent van Gogh (1853–1890) used still life throughout his career as a way to experiment with colour, composition and brushwork. From his Paris flower studies and Arles sunflowers to the bouquets painted shortly before his death, flowers remained an important part of his artistic vocabulary.

Vincent van Gogh’s Painting Style

Van Gogh rarely attempted to disguise the physical process of painting. In this late still life, visible marks define petals, stems and background alike, creating a surface in which the energy of the brush remains an essential part of the finished image.
