Vincent van Gogh Painting Irises

During the first month of his confinement, painting Vincent van Gogh was permitted to work in the men quarters, the only area he can continue to paint. Irises were painted in the garden to the south of the only area. Vincent van Gogh told his brother that he got along well with his fellows, they liked to see him painting, and they would leave if he required.

Digging deeper into this Post impressionism painting, we will find a white iris standing out of the violet ones, given what happened during that time and the atmosphere expressed in this painting, people guess that the painter want to express his loneness, however, this is just a subjective speculation, neither Vincent van Gogh nor his brother ever put forth this opinion.

Actually, Vincent van Gogh painted Irises shortly after he voluntarily admitted himself into the St.-Paul-de-Mausole asylum in Saint-Rémy, France. A place is abuzz with terrible cries and howls like beasts in a menagerie day and night, for there are some patients very seriously ill.

The Main Subject of Claude Monet's Later Works

"Monet's early paintings can not be comparable to these incredible water scenery, which have kept spring on the canvases forever. The dreamlike water sometimes wear light blue and sometimes gold, reflecting the blue sky, lush pond shore and pastel water lilies. Quiet landscape and inner beauty make this work a music and a poetry." said a critic.

At first, the locals objected to this pond program because of the river argument. After several twists and turns, a Japanese-style bridge appeared above the pond, then the willows and flowers around the pond. Of course the paradise included the melody-water lilies, which accompanied Monet's for his last 27 years. In 1901, the government agreed to Monet's purchase of another land in south because of his local fame. But the devoted enthusiasm for painting made him reject the honor again and again. Since 1904, the Japanese-style bridge in the painting was gone, even the sky. There existed just pithy water lilies and pond corner with dark lake. And the public couldn't help applauding for the serial works when they met them in Paris.

Water Lilies is a series of several canvases of the pond by French Impressionist Claude Monet, who is the founder of Impressionism. During his last thirty years, the water garden, with a Japanese-style arched bridge , was the main subject of his oil paintings.
