Vincent van Gogh’s (Dutch, 18531890)Roses(1890) is one of four exceptional still lifes completed just before his departure from the asylum in Saint-Rmy. He conceived of this quartet of radiant spring bouquetswhich also includesIrises(1890) in The Met collectionas an ensemble. Though the color has since faded, traces of pink nestled in the pillowy petals and along the tabletop hint at the vividness of the artist’s “canvas of pink roses against a yellow-green background in a green vase” in its original state.
