À propos de l’œuvre
Vase avec asters chinois et glaïeuls, par Vincent van Gogh
Vincent van Gogh · August -September 1886 · Paris
Vase with Chinese and gladioli asters, F234Reproduction of oil painting on canvas
Pink, red and white asters and a few yellow gladioli overflow from a black vase on a red-brown background. Several fallen flowers extend the bouquet on the table and connect the dark belly to the lower edge.
Look at the work
A thick bouquet whose flowers seem modeled in the dough
The round asters squeeze into an irregular crown around a few taller stems. The yellow gladiolus at the top and the flowers lying on the table introduce opposite directions.
The black vase receives gray and pink reflections applied in large gestures. The red background is also constructed in small visible plates, without a smoothed surface.
Vase with Chinese asters and gladioli F234/JH1168 is an oil on canvas of 61.1 × 46.1 cm painted in Paris in August - September 1886. It bears the inventory s0177V1962.
Composition, touch and color
Three observations specific to this painting
The canvas demonstrates Van Gogh's interest in Adolphe Monticelli: dark color, rich bouquet and very thick paint give the flowers an almost sculpted relief.
Asters are constructed in short radiant touches
Each corolla combines several pinks, whites and reds around a darker core, avoiding any uniform decorative effect.
The black of the vase intensifies the flowers
The dark belly creates a compact base; its gray reflections connect the ceramic to the light petals that have fallen on the table.
Fallen flowers expand the composition
They occupy both sides of the vase and give the impression that the bouquet exceeds its own limits.
Documented benchmarks
Precisely identify the original work
The institutional record documents F234/JH1168, the format of 61.1 × 46.1 cm, the inventory s0177V1962 and the date August-September 1886.
Van Gogh looks at Monticelli's bouquets
After discovering his works in June 1886, he accentuated the thickness of the layers and compared this pictorial material to liquid clay.
The original vase has been preserved
The Van Gogh Museum still has the ceramics depicted; it is actually smaller than the painting suggests.
A red background to move the flowers forward
The red-brown envelops the pink and white asters, while the black vase gives the bouquet a very deep foundation.
