Galerie Mont Vase with Irises – Vincent Van Gogh^ Van Gogh

While Vincent Van Gogh had previously painted the sunflowers in very close tones, here he uses a composition in complementary colors. Indeed, the blue and violet of the irises contrast with the orange of the vase and its support as well as the yellow of the background. To break the too perfect symmetry of this post-impressionnist painting, the artist later added the broken branch on the right.
