Van Gogh - Irises (1889) (full size) Wallpaper bystudiofibonacci

Paul-de-Mausole. This print is approx full size.

From the Getty Collection The painting was influenced by Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock prints, like many of his works and those by other artists of the time. The similarities occur with strong outlines, unusual angles, including close-up views and also flattish local colour (not modeled according to the fall of light). Van Gogh considered this painting a study, which is probably why there are no known drawings for it.
