Field with Flowers near Arles - Fine Paper Print Fine Art Print

Vincent Van Gogh was astoundingly prolific, producing all of his works during a short 10-year period. Although he only sold one painting in his lifetime, he inspired numerous future artistic movements. Van Gogh found the "Japanese atmosphere" he had been seeking in the blooming orchards and sun-drenched landscapes of Arles, and captured it in works like the Field with Flowers near Arles (1888). On May 12th, he sent his brother Theo a colorful description of this new painting: ���[���] a vast field of bright yellow buttercups, a ditch full of irises with green leaves and purple flowers, in the background a town, a few greyish willows, a strip of blue sky. [���] A little town surrounded by a field of yellow and purple flowers ��� you know, it���s just like a Japanese dream.��� The irises of his dream were to become the subject of two paintings executed in Saint-R��my.
