Quilled Irises, Van Gogh Greeting Card - Artist Series

Irises is one of a series of still life paintings Vincent Van Gogh made after checking himself into Saint Paul-de-Mausole asylum in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, France, in the last year before his death in 1890. Drawing inspiration from the garden within the asylum, Vincent masterfully captured their beauty by contrasting the lush bouquet over a vibrant background. The Irises were purple in the original painting, but the red pigments faded turning them into the iconic blue we know today
