🌹 Roses and Scarab Beetle – Vincent van Gogh (1890)

🌹 Roses and Scarabée – Vincent van Gogh (1890)

Hand-painted reproduction – Oil on canvas

A fragile nature, captured with intensity

In "Roses and Scarab", Van Gogh invites us to contemplate a fragment of abundant, intimate, and living nature. The white roses, blooming and troubled, intertwine in deep green foliage, while a metallic green scarab delicately rests on one of them. This silent, almost secret scene becomes under Van Gogh's brush a celebration of life in its simplest and most vibrant form.

Historical context: Van Gogh in Auvers-sur-Oise

Painted during the last weeks of the artist's life, this work dates from June 1890, when Van Gogh was residing in Auvers-sur-Oise. There he found temporary solace in nature, which he observed and depicted with extreme attention. This canvas is part of his final floral compositions, often interpreted as a return to purity, to natural beauty, far from the inner turmoil that assailed him.

Visual analysis: freshness, contrast, and vitality

The vertical composition offers a tight, almost photographic framing on the stems, leaves, and corollas. The intense greens, the energetic outlines, the sinuous shapes convey plant vitality. The roses, with slightly pink petals, emit a soft light, contrasted by the brilliance of the scarab, symbol of regeneration and natural balance. Every detail, every brushstroke evokes the pulse of a living, moving world.

Symbolic and emotional reading

Through this floral scene, Van Gogh seems to seek an anchor, a comfort in the beautiful simplicity of the natural world. The beetle, at the center of attention, can be read as a symbol of awakening, transformation, or even protection. It is a deeply sensitive work, full of humility, inviting us to slow down, observe, and feel.
