About the piece

Created in 1889 during his stay at the asylum in Saint-Rémy, Vincent van Gogh's 'Roses' is a brilliant example of his expressive use of color and texture. The painting utilizes heavy impasto to create a sense of tactile vitality, contrasting the delicate creamy whites of the rose petals with the intense, rhythmic greens of the foliage. A small rose chafer beetle is visible on the central flower, adding a touch of naturalistic detail to this vigorous botanical study.
