About DECORARTS - Triptych
Fritillaries in a Copper Vase Fritillaries are bulbs which, like tulips, flower in spring. It is therefore easy to work out what time of year Van Gogh painted this picture. The variety which he represents is the imperial fritillary, which was grown in French and Dutch gardens at the end of the 19th century. It has an orange-red flower, with a long stem from which each bulb produces between three and ten flowers. So to compose this bouquet, Vincent used only one or two bulbs, placing the cut flowers in a copper vase. Vase with Gladioli and Chinese Asters In Paris in 1886, Vincent Van Gogh produced a great many still life paintings of flowers, including this one of gladioli and asters. Until shortly before this time, he had painted mainly in darker shades, but this new subject gave him the chance to experiment freely with bright colours and looser brushstrokes. Van Gogh had applied the paint remarkably thickly in this work. Bouquet of Flowers in a Vase This still life is not mentioned in Van Gogh’s letters and has puzzled scholars as to its place in his artistic production. The subject enjoys a certain rapport with the mixed bouquets of summer flowers he made in Paris; the quasi-abstract floral wallpaper design in the Berceuse of Arles , and the white porcelain vase in the Irises of Saint-Remy. However, the palette and style of this painting, especially its distinctive blues and ochers and graphic, brick-shape hatchings, link it firmly with the landscapes made just prior to his death in Auvers on July 29, 1890.
