À propos de l’œuvre
Bol avec tournesols, roses et autres fleurs, par Vincent van Gogh
Vincent van Gogh · August -September 1886 · Paris
Bowl with sunflowers, roses and other flowers, F250Reproduction of oil painting on canvas
A green bowl overflows with white roses, faded sunflowers and small red flowers. Van Gogh places the bouquet very low and very close to the viewer: the corollas spread horizontally on a purple background streaked with red.
Look at the work
The flowers seem to move out of the bowl and cover almost the entire table
White roses occupy the center, packed together into a light mass. At both ends, the yellow and brown sunflowers tilt towards the edge of the canvas, as if their weight opened the composition.
The container only appears under the bouquet: a green curve, a few yellow reflections and a dark blue shadow are enough to build its volume. The orange-red table further reinforces its presence.
Bowl with sunflowers, roses and other flowers F250/JH1166 is a 50 × 61 cm oil on canvas painted in Paris in August - September 1886. It is kept at the Kunsthalle Mannheim.
Composition, touch and color
Three observations specific to this painting
This composition belongs to the floral research of the first Parisian year. The horizontal format, the close point of view and the opposition between light roses, faded sunflowers and mauve background produce a very physical still life.
The bouquet refuses the pyramidal shape
The flowers spread from left to right instead of rising to a peak. This width accentuates the weight of sunflowers and the profusion of roses.
White people are never neutral
Cream, pale pink, blue gray and light green differentiate the petals. Each rose thus retains its orientation despite the density of the central group.
The background is a network of diagonals
Red and mauve lines intersect behind the bouquet. They animate empty areas and respond to stems without competing with flowers.
Documented benchmarks
Precisely identify the original work
F250/JH1166, the format of 50 × 61 cm and the conservation in Mannheim identify this horizontal composition, distinct from the series of sunflowers painted later in Arles.
These sunflowers precede those of Arles
Van Gogh painted them in Paris in 1886, two years before the famous yellow vases. They are mixed with roses and represented at different stages of fading.
The Kunsthalle Mannheim purchased a work by Van Gogh early
The museum acquired the painting from the merchant Paul Cassirer in 1911, when German museums began to recognize the importance of the painter.
The green container matches the red of the table
This complementary opposition supports the lower part, while the purple of the background highlights the yellows and whites of the bouquet.

- The sunflower tilted in the upper left corner
- White roses grouped in the center
- The brown discs of the faded flowers on the right
- The green curve of the bowl under the petals
