Vincent van Gogh, one of the most influential painters in art history, is famous for his vibrant and expressive paintings, and his floral paintings hold a central place in his work.
The Irises , painted in 1889 in Saint-Remy-de-Provence, are among Van Gogh's most iconic works, capturing the vibrant beauty and serenity of nature. With dynamic brushstrokes and contours influenced by Japanese art, Van Gogh brings the flowers to life in a dazzling play of colors, where the purple hues of the irises contrast with the green shades of the leaves and sometimes the bright background. The Irises are often interpreted as a metaphor for hope and beauty in adversity.
To create this floral clutch, we combined 2 superb paintings of matching and contrasting irises. The violet blue of the flowers stands out on one against the green foliage, and on the other against a white background.
For fans of Van Gogh, irises, and green and purple tones, this pretty spring clutch will be a pleasure to sew and then use.
