Vase with Daisies and Poppies by Vincent Van Gogh

Vase with Daisies and Poppies by Vincent van Gogh, painted in 1890, is an oil-on-canvas floral still life from his Auvers-sur-Oise period. The painting presents a dense bouquet of daisies, poppies, and other garden flowers against a dark blue background. Its thick impasto, animated outlines, and layered greens create a lush, almost turbulent surface. The work reflects Van Gogh’s late fascination with flowers as vivid studies of color, vitality, and impermanence.

Vincent van Gogh was a Dutch Post-Impressionist painter celebrated for expressive color, dynamic brushwork, and emotionally charged subjects. In his final months at Auvers, he produced portraits, landscapes, and still lifes with remarkable speed and intensity. His art transformed everyday motifs into powerful visual experiences. Though little recognized during his lifetime, he became one of the most influential artists in Western art.
