Vincent van Gogh's Irises (1889) is a vibrant landscape painting created with oil on Canvas. Painted during his stay at the Saint-Paul-de-Mausole asylum in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, it reflects his mastery of Post-impressionism. The artwork depicts a lush bed of irises in a cropped composition, emphasizing bold, expressive brushstrokes and vibrant colors characteristic of van Gogh’s style. As part of his extensive series of flower paintings, Irises captures both the beauty of nature and the emotional depth typical of his late period. Since 1990, it has been housed in The Getty in Los Angeles.
