Pink Roses by Vincent van Gogh
Flowers remained among Vincent van Gogh's favorite subjects -- as in his 1890 work Pink Roses -- and van Gogh continued to paint gardens and still-life floral arrangements. This bouquet of roses is purely decorative, painted for the striking effect of the pale, almost translucent, white petals with their pink blush against a pure bright green background.
 Vincent van Gogh's Pink Roses (oil on canvas, 12-1/2x16 inches) is housed in the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek, Copenhagen. |
Next, we'll see Vincent van Gogh returning to the Gachet family for the subject of his work.
