The Iris

"The Iris" is an oil painting by Vincent van Gogh, created in 1889 during his stay at the Saint Paul-de-Mausole asylum in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence. This landscape depicts vibrant Post-impressionism style, capturing a dynamic scene of irises on a canvas. With a cropped composition, the painting emphasizes bold brushwork and intense color, characteristic of van Gogh’s expressive approach before his death in 1890. Since 1990, it has been part of The Getty's permanent collection in Los Angeles, California.
