Rosen (1890) 2
1890
Van Gogh painted these lush white roses in 1890, during the final months of his life in Saint-Rémy. Unlike his more famous sunflowers, these delicate blooms are set against a soothing mint-green background, showcasing his mastery of color harmony. The thick, swirling brushstrokes give the flowers a vibrant, almost living energy, as if they are reaching out from the canvas. Interestingly, he painted this just weeks before his death, yet the mood is surprisingly peaceful compared to his later, more turbulent works.
