A pink and purple harmony disappeared
Van Gogh wanted a soft effect by contrasting the purple irises with a pink wall. The red lacquers have turned pale: the flowers now appear blue and the background almost white.

Vincent van Gogh · May 1890 · Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, France
Long green leaves and blue corollas unfold around a white porcelain vase. The colors visible today are colder than those of 1890: the background was pink and the irises purple.
Look at the work
The white vase is placed slightly to the left of the center. The pointed leaves spread in several directions, while the open flowers, buds and faded petals draw an irregular line across the entire width.
The green table forms a low band, separated from the light wall by a dark line. The blue-black contours give each leaf and each petal an almost graphic clarity, inspired by Japanese prints.
The vase stabilizes the canvas, but the bouquet refuses any immobility: leaves, stems and corollas extend their movement to the four edges.
Composition, touch and color
The Met retains this still life under number 58.187. It bears the references F680/JH1978 and belongs to the final group of the two Iris and the two Roses.
Van Gogh wanted a soft effect by contrasting the purple irises with a pink wall. The red lacquers have turned pale: the flowers now appear blue and the background almost white.
The white of the container reflects the light tones of the wall. Its blue outline, its handle and a slight shadow are enough to give it volume without interrupting the growth of the leaves.
Each flower has a different orientation and state. Some corollas are fully open, others fold or remain in bud, which gives the bouquet its duration.
Documented benchmarks
Les Iris is an oil on canvas measuring 73.7 × 92.1 cm, painted in Saint-Rémy in May 1890. It bears inventory 58,187 and references F680/JH1978.
