Van Gogh Famous Blue Irises Floral Oil Painting Stone Coaster

Irises, painted by the Dutch Post-Impressionist artist Vincent van Gogh in 1889, is one of his most iconic works. Created during his stay at the asylum in Saint-Rémy, France, the painting showcases his signature expressive brushwork and vibrant use of color. The composition, influenced by Japanese woodblock prints, features a cropped view of blooming blue (originally violet) irises against a lush green and yellow background, with one solitary white iris providing a striking contrast. Van Gogh considered this a color study, but it is now celebrated for its emotional depth and rich symbolism of hope and life.
