A floral fire in a vase: Van Gogh transforms fritillaries into an explosion of light and matter

Created in Paris in 1887, Fritillaries, crown imperial in a copper vase is a flamboyant still life where Van Gogh freely experiments with color, texture, and light.
Here, he does not simply paint a bouquet: he creates a vibrant scene, a fusion between metal, plant life, and sunlight, with a pictorial intensity characteristic of his Parisian period.

A dense, warm, and decorative composition

Flamboyant flowers, a hammered vase, a moving decorative background

The painting depicts a hammered copper basin, filled with imperial crown fritillaries: large orange-red flowers with drooping petals and thin stems.
The vase rests on a green surface, in front of a blue background decorated with stylized patterns, almost abstract.
Each element seems pulsed from within, as if the color were in motion.

The palette is vibrant and bold :
– Flamboyant oranges of flowers,
– Deep copper and ochre of the vase,
– Intense greens of the table,
– Turquoise blues of the background,
with a rich pictorial material, applied in thick and expressive strokes.

A bouquet of strength, light, and contrast

Van Gogh is not trying here to depict a realistic still life: he transforms the subject into an almost spiritual vision, where each color takes on a symbolic role.

"Fritillaries are like lanterns on fire. I wanted to paint their glow on copper."
– Vincent van Gogh (free interpretation based on his letters)

This painting is also a stylistic exercise, a manifesto of his mastery of complementary color, and a tribute to the vitality of the pictorial material.
