Description
Our floral scarf borrows the blooms from one of Vincent van Gogh's (Dutch, 1853-1890) beloved bouquets in The Met collection. In May of 1890, just before his departure from the asylum in Saint-Rémy, the artist painted four exceptional still lifes, including the exuberant Irises (1890). Van Gogh sought to achieve a "harmonious and soft" effect by placing the "violet" flowers against a "pink background." Owing to his use of fugitive red pigments, these colors have since faded with time. Click
