- Painted During Van Gogh's Final Months
Van Gogh created this painting in 1890 in Auvers-sur-Oise, shortly after leaving the asylum at Saint-Rémy and moving north to be under the care of Dr. Paul Gachet, a physician and art lover who became one of the artist's closest supporters during his final months. Today, the original painting is housed in the Musée d'Orsay in Paris.
- A Personal Story Behind the Painting
This still life was painted during a brief period when Van Gogh felt renewed optimism and creative energy. According to contemporary accounts, he enthusiastically immersed himself in painting flowers and still-life arrangements, finding inspiration in the artistic atmosphere surrounding Dr. Gachet. Van Gogh even wrote to his brother Theo about his new friend and noted that Dr. Gachet's home contained many objects suitable for arranging flowers and creating still lifes.
The painting reflects Van Gogh's lifelong fascination with flowers as symbols of beauty, vitality, and the changing cycles of nature. Despite considering many floral studies as exercises in colour and composition, these works have become some of the most beloved images in art history.
- A Remarkable Historical Connection
The painting later belonged to Paul Gachet Jr., the son of Dr. Gachet. According to the Musée d'Orsay, the artwork was gifted by Theo van Gogh to the young Paul Gachet in gratitude for remaining beside the injured artist during the night of 27–28 July 1890.
