À propos de l’œuvre
Vase de pavots, par Vincent van Gogh
Vincent van Gogh · Summer 1886 · Paris
Vase with red poppies, F279Reproduction of oil painting on canvas
A bouquet of red poppies overflows from a white vase in front of a blue-purple background. The stems loaded with green buds pass through the open flowers and create a finer network in the center of this red mass.
Look at the work
Poppies form a red crown around a heart of green stems
The larger flowers extend toward the edges and are sometimes cut by framing. In the center, closed buttons and capsules rise above the vase, separating the corollas into small verticals.
The white vase, with green touches, is placed on a red-brown table. Behind him, the blue-purple revolves around the bouquet in broad brushstrokes which accentuate the contrast of the red.
Vase with red poppies F279/JH1104 is an oil on canvas of approximately 54.6 × 45.1 cm painted in Paris during the summer of 1886. The Wadsworth Atheneum preserves it under the 1957.617 inventory.
Composition, touch and color
Three observations specific to this painting
The canvas directly exploits the complementary contrast of red and green, reinforced by the purple blue of the background and the cold white of the vase.
The open flowers form the outline
Their red discs are distributed on the sides and at the top. The irregular contours make the bouquet looser than the vase.
The buttons structure the center
Their small green and purple shapes rise on thin stems. They introduce space between the large corollas.
The background revolves around the bouquet
The purple touches follow several directions and give the surface energy that responds to the petals.
Documented benchmarks

F279/JH1104 and inventory 1957.617 identify this painting from the Wadsworth Atheneum, the attribution of which to Van Gogh was confirmed after technical study.
An award confirmed in 2019
After years of doubt, analyzes carried out with the Van Gogh Museum established the compatibility of materials, preparation and manner with Van Gogh's work.
An exercise on red and green
Red poppies respond to leaves and green buds, two complementary colors that the painter explores intensely in Paris.
