In Irises (1889), Van Gogh transforms a simple garden subject into an exuberant celebration of colour and life. Vivid violet-blue blooms rise among twisting green leaves, their graceful forms set against warm, contrasting earth tones. Energetic brushwork and rhythmic composition give the flowers a remarkable vitality, capturing nature in all its expressive beauty.

Painted in May 1889, Irises was created shortly after Vincent van Gogh entered the Saint-Paul-de-Mausole asylum in Saint-Rémy, Provence. Finding inspiration in the gardens within its grounds, he began painting the flowers during his first week there. Influenced in part by Japanese woodblock prints, the composition combines bold colour, flowing outlines and an almost decorative arrangement of blooms. Van Gogh initially regarded the work as a study, but his brother Theo recognised its exceptional quality and arranged for it to be exhibited in Paris later that year. Today, it is held by the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles.
