À propos de l’œuvre
Bol avec Zinnias, par Vincent van Gogh
Vincent van Gogh · Summer 1886 · Paris
Bowl with zinnias, F252Reproduction of oil painting on canvas
Orange, yellow and red zinnias spring from a green bowl placed on an ocher table. The flowers stack almost to the upper edge, in front of a red-brown background crossed by the short touches of the foliage.
Look at the work
The bouquet rises like a column of color above the green bowl
The large orange corollas organize a curve from the top left to the center right. Yellow flowers and small light spots fill the intervals, while leaves cut out the bottom with their tips.
The bowl, wide and rounded, stabilizes this vertical thrust. Its light green responds to the foliage, but its more continuous outline and the wide table band clearly separate it from the bouquet.
Bowl with zinnias F252/JH1140 is a 59.7 × 45.1 cm oil on canvas painted in Paris during the summer of 1886. The Kreeger Museum in Washington preserves it under the 1972.7 inventory.
Composition, touch and color
Three observations specific to this painting
The museum links this still life to Van Gogh's intensive study of color in the summer of 1886 and his admiration for Adolphe Monticelli, whose impasto and red accords nourish the material here.
Flowers move from form to matter
Some corollas are described petal by petal; others become clumps of orange or yellow paint. This alternation avoids a uniform botanical inventory.
Red-brown works as an active color
The background is not neutral: its warm streaks appear between each stem and intensify the greens by complementary contrast.
The key varies depending on each element
It is round and thick in the flowers, more nervous in the leaves, horizontal on the table and curved on the bowl. The surface thus keeps several simultaneous rhythms.
Documented benchmarks
Precisely identify the original work
The Kreeger Museum's instructions associate F252/JH1140 with the 1972.7 inventory and the format of 23 1/2 × 17 3/4 inches, or approximately 59.7 × 45.1 cm.
Flowers become a laboratory of color
During the summer of 1886, Van Gogh painted numerous floral arrangements to escape the dark tones of his Dutch period.
The material pays homage to the Marseille painter
Van Gogh admires Adolphe Monticelli's bouquets. After his death in the summer of 1886, he resumed their impasto and sustained red chords.
The painting is presented in the permanent collection
The Kreeger Museum keeps the work in Washington and lists it as on display in its presentation of European paintings.
