Dutch artist Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890) was one of the greatest of the Post-Impressionist painters. Though much of his work, like this Irises study, is filled with brightness and light, Van Gogh's own life was filled with personal turmoil. A severe mental health crisis, in which he now-famously cut off his own ear, prompted Van Gogh to admit himself to the Saint-Paul Asylum at Saint-R my in the south of France. His recuperation began with painting of the asylum garden, Irises chief among the resulting output. We are honoured to feature this seminal painting from the J. Paul Getty Museum in our collection.
