Flowers in a blue vase Vincent Van Gogh

Bouquet of Flowers in a Blue Vase by Vincent van Gogh, painted in 1887, is an oil-on-canvas still life from his Paris period. The work shows a bright mixed bouquet—daisies, anemones, and other garden flowers—arranged in a glossy blue vase. Its light palette, dotted background, and broken brushwork reveal Van Gogh’s response to Impressionism and Neo-Impressionism. The lively floral subject allowed him to experiment with color harmony, texture, and decorative rhythm.

Vincent van Gogh was a Dutch Post-Impressionist painter known for expressive color, vigorous brushwork, and emotionally charged subjects. During his Paris years, his work shifted from darker Dutch tones toward brighter modern palettes influenced by avant-garde artists and Japanese prints. Flowers became important studies in color and composition. Though underrecognized in life, he became one of the most influential artists in Western art.
