Rosas (Roses) - Vincent van Gogh
Metropolitan Museum of Arts Nova York Estados Unidos
OST - 93x74 - 1890
On the eve of
his departure from the asylum in Saint-Rémy in May 1890, Van Gogh painted an
exceptional group of four still lifes, to which both the Museum's Roses and Irises (58.187)
belong. These bouquets and their counterparts—an upright composition of irises
(Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam) and a horizontal composition of roses (National
Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.)—were conceived as a series or ensemble, on a
par with the earlier Sunflower decoration he made in Arles. Traces of pink
along the tabletop and rose petals in the present painting, which have faded
over time, offer a faint reminder of the formerly more vivid "canvas of
pink roses against a yellow-green background in a green vase."
