About the piece

Painted in 1890 during his stay at the asylum of Saint-Paul in Saint-Rémy, Vincent van Gogh’s 'Long Grass with Butterflies' is a masterful example of his late style. The work features his signature thick, rhythmic brushstrokes, transforming a simple patch of the hospital's garden into a dynamic tapestry of light and life as white butterflies flit across the textured green tufts.
