Vincent Van Gogh Vase With Pink Roses (1890)
Vase with Pink Roses was painted in 1890 by Vincent van Gogh in Saint-Remy. At the time Van Gogh was readying himself to leave the Saint-Remy asylum for the quiet town of Auvers-sur-Oise outside of Paris. The still life reflects the optimism Van Gogh felt at that time about his future, both in his choice of flowers as a subject and the colors used.
