À propos de l’œuvre
Roses et anémones, par Vincent van Gogh
Vincent van Gogh · June 1890 · Auvers-sur-Oise, France
Roses and anemonesReproduction of oil painting on canvas
In a blue Japanese vase, pale roses and red anemones open in front of an intense green background. The bouquet, very close to the viewer, becomes a field of colorful touches rather than a wise still life.
Look at the work
A square bouquet on a green background
The blue and white vase is placed at the edge of a table whose color almost blends in with the background. Cream roses occupy the upper part, while red anemones and foliage descend towards the sides. Several flowers are cut by the framing.
The green background is animated by visible oblique touches. The whites of the roses contain yellows, pinks and blues; anemones bring bright black and red centers. The Japanese vase provides a cold base for this profusion.
The square composition brings the bouquet closer to the viewer's scale: flowers, leaves and vase seem to grow towards the limits of the canvas.
Composition, touch and color
Three observations specific to this painting
The Musée d'Orsay preserves Roses and anemones under the inventory RF 1954 12. The work is cataloged F764/JH2045 and must be distinguished from the bouquets of roses painted a few weeks earlier in Saint-Rémy.
A deliberately tight framing
The bouquet almost completely fills the square. The flowers cut by the edges and the stems that deviate from the center give the impression of growth that extends beyond the canvas.
Green as an active color
The background is not neutral: it contrasts its green vibration with the reds of the anemones and brings out the light pinks. His brushstrokes participate in the general movement.
A recognizable Japanese vase
The blue and white container recalls Van Gogh's enduring interest in Japanese prints and objects. Its cold and compact decoration stabilizes the irregular mass of the bouquet.
Documented benchmarks
Precisely identify the original work
Roses and anemones is an oil on canvas measuring 51.7 × 52 cm, painted in Auvers in June 1890. It bears the references F764/JH2045 and the inventory RF 1954 12.
A Japanese vase
The work is also known as Still Life: Japanese Vase with Roses and Anemones. The blue and white container allows us to recognize this version in the numerous bouquets of Auvers.
In the Gachet family until 1954
After Van Gogh's death, the painting passed from Theo to Paul Gachet Jr. He kept it until his donation to the French state in 1954.
From the Jeu de Paume to Orsay
Assigned first to the Louvre Museum then exhibited at the Jeu de Paume, the work joined the collections of the Musée d'Orsay when it opened in 1986.
Your reproduction
What the painter must preserve
The reproduction must retain the vibrant green of the background, the nuanced light of the roses, the dark reds of the anemones and the blue design of the Japanese vase.
- Cream roses modeled in yellow, pink and blue
- Red anemones with almost black centers
- The blue and white Japanese vase
- The green background covered with oblique touches
