À propos de l’œuvre
Vase avec œillets blancs et rouges, par Vincent van Gogh
Vincent van Gogh · Summer 1886 · Paris
Vase with white and red carnations, F236Reproduction of oil painting on canvas
White, red and pink carnations deviate from a black vase decorated with light lines. The bouquet appears suspended in front of a blue-black background, while the table reflects a few red and green touches.
Look at the work
Clear flowers emerge in foci from an almost nocturnal background
Two large white carnations dominate the top of the bouquet. Lower down, a red flower and several pink corollas form a diagonal descending to the lower right edge.
The dark vase has a rounded belly covered with irregular white lines. Its low visibility focuses attention on green stems and petal contrasts.
Vase with white and red carnations F236/JH1130 is an oil on canvas of 58 × 45.5 cm painted in Paris during the summer of 1886. The work belongs to a private collection.
Composition, touch and color
Three observations specific to this painting
The composition combines a dark background inherited from Nuenen with more bold flower colors, sought after during the first Parisian year.
White is never uniform
Grey, pale green and cream mingle in the petals. The flowers remain bright without becoming flat spots.
Red is distributed at several heights
A central eyelet, top buttons, and reflections on the table create reminders that stabilize asymmetry.
The vase holds the bouquet by its outline
Its black belly and clear patterns give a heavy base to thin stems and scattered corollas.
Documented benchmarks
Precisely identify the original work
F236/JH1130, the format of 58 × 45.5 cm and the dating of the summer of 1886 identify this Parisian bouquet in a private collection.
Bouquets serve as color studies
Van Gogh painted many flowers in 1886 to emerge from the grays and lands of his Dutch period.
Carnations at several stages
The bouquet brings together large open corollas, leaning flowers and several buds, which multiplies the shapes around the vase.
F236/JH1130 is a precise composition
These numbers distinguish it from other carnation vases from 1886, notably F243, F245, F259 and F327.
