À propos de l’œuvre
Verre avec des roses jaunes, par Vincent van Gogh
Vincent van Gogh · June -July 1886 · Paris
Glass with yellow roses, F218Reproduction of oil painting on canvas
A few yellow roses, already supple and leaning, emerge from a glass placed on a dark table. The bouquet fits in a narrow format where each stem, each reflection and each petal takes on importance.
Look at the work
A modest bouquet made luminous by an almost black background
Roses do not form a regular mass: one flower rises, two tilt on the sides and the buds disperse. This asymmetry gives the bouquet a very natural fragility.
The transparent glass is constructed by some gray and green reflections. Its edges blend into the table, while the warm yellows of the petals advance briskly over red-brown and black.
Glass with yellow roses F218/JH1144 is an oil on cardboard of 35 × 27 cm painted in Paris in June - July 1886. The Van Gogh Museum preserves it under the inventory s0178V1962.
Composition, touch and color
Three observations specific to this painting
Van Gogh transforms a handful of roses into an exercise in contrast: the warm flowers, the cold glass and the dark background are separated by short, very readable touches.
Roses open in several directions
Straight stems, inclined buttons and drooping corollas avoid any symmetry and give the impression of a bouquet observed without a prepared staging.
Glass is suggested rather than drawn
A clear line on the edge, a few greenish reflections and visible water are enough to make the container transparent.
Yellow concentrates all the light
The petals mix cream, ocher and lemon yellow; their shine is reinforced by the black-brown background and the dark red table.
Documented benchmarks
Precisely identify the original work
The institutional notice documents F218/JH1144, the format of 35 × 27 cm, the oil on cardboard and the inventory s0178V1962.
A floral study of the first months
Van Gogh painted this bouquet between the end of June and mid-July 1886, a few months after his installation at Theo in Paris.
A small vertical box
The 35 × 27 cm format allows direct execution: the surface remains close to the gesture and the repetitions remain visible.
A work preserved by the family
Staying in Theo's apartment, she moved on to Jo van Gogh-Bonger then to Vincent Willem before joining the family foundation.
Your reproduction
What the painter must preserve
The copy must preserve the irregular appearance of the roses, the nuanced yellows, the crossed stems, the transparency of the glass and the deep contrast of the background.
- The high rose facing left
- The large corolla inclined to the right
- The little buttons still closed
- The shiny edge of the glass
- The transition from red brown to black in the background
