Description
Clearly evident in both the title and content of this 1890 still life is the influence of Japanese art on the work of Vincent van Gogh. The famously tormented artist was a collector of ukiyo-e woodblock prints, even reproducing some by Hiroshige in his own hand. Here, the style of vase and the darkly stricken contour lines belie his eastern influences. The red roses at the top of the composition provide a balanced complement to the green vase, demonstrating his knowledge of compositional and color theories. Our skilled artists have faithfully recreated his lush bouquet and vibrant setting in this handmade oil-on-canvas reproduction.
