From the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA:
In May 1890, just before his release from the asylum at Saint-Rémy, Van Gogh painted four bouquets of spring flowers: two of roses, and two of irises, in contrasting formats and color schemes. Owing to his use of a fugitive red pigment, the "harmonious and soft" effect that he had sought in the Museum’s painting of Irises has been altered by the fading of the once pink background to almost white. Another still life from this series, Roses, is on view in the adjacent gallery. Both were owned by the artist’s mother, who kept them until her death in 1907.
