Field with Irises Near Arles, 1888 by Vincent van Gogh

Field with Irises Near Arles, painted by Vincent van Gogh in 1888 presents a panoramic view across a flowering field on the outskirts of Arles, purple irises massed in the foreground against a broad stretch of grass and distant rooftops under a pale Provençal sky. Painted during his prolific Arles period, the work reflects Van Gogh’s fascination with the iris as a subject and his growing interest in the flattened perspective and bold color patterning he admired in Japanese prints.

Artist: Vincent van Gogh (Dutch, 1853-1890). Date: 1888.

A note on this reproduction: this print renders in warmer tones, with a sage-gray sky and golden-yellow field for a sun-drenched, late-summer atmosphere.
