Irises, 1889 Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890)

We create our paintings with museum quality and covering the highest academic standards. Once we get your order, it will be entirely hand-painted with oil on canvas. All the materials we use are the highest level, being totally artist graded painting materials and linen canvas.

We will add 1.6" (4 cm) additional blank canvas all over the painting for stretching.

High quality and detailing in every inch are time consuming. The reproduction of Vincent van Gogh also needs time to dry in order to be completely ready for shipping, as this is crucial to not be damaged during transportation.
Based on the size, level of detail and complexity we need 8-9 weeks to complete the process.

In case the delivery date needs to be extended in time, or we are overloaded with requests, there will be an email sent to you sharing the new timelines of production and delivery.

TOPofART wants to remind you to keep patient, in order to get you the highest quality, being our mission to fulfill your expectations.

We not stretch and frame our oil paintings due to several reasons:
Painting reproduction is a high quality expensive product, which we cannot risk to damage by sending it being stretched.
Also, there are postal restrictions, regarding the size of the shipment.
Additionally, due to the dimensions of the stretched canvas, the shipment price may exceed the price of the product itself.

You can stretch and frame your painting in your local frame-shop.

Once the painting Irises is ready and dry, it will be shipped to your delivery address. The canvas will be rolled-up in a secure postal tube.

We offer free shipping as well as paid express transportation services.

After adding your artwork to the shopping cart, you will be able to check the delivery price using the Estimate Shipping and Tax tool.

The paintings we create are only of museum quality. Our academy graduated artists will never allow a compromise in the quality and detail of the ordered painting. TOPofART do not work, and will never allow ourselves to work with low quality studios from the Far East. We are based in Europe, and quality is our highest priority.

Vincent van Gogh’s "Irises," 1889, is like a restless dance of nature frozen in time. The scene bursts with blue irises, their wiry stems twisting upwards, seemingly pushing through the canvas. You can almost feel the movement of the plants as if they’ve paused mid-sway in the breeze. These irises aren’t delicate; they are robust, with petals that ripple like fabric caught in motion. The flowers range from violet-blue to a deep, almost electric cobalt, vibrating against the starkness of the green leaves. Among them, a single white iris stands like an outcast, adding a touch of mystery - was this a fluke of nature, or is it deliberate symbolism?

The technique is classic Van Gogh - thick impasto brushstrokes that make the plants leap out at you, giving the painting texture and life. His iconic directional strokes aren’t just a quirk; they guide your eyes through the composition, almost like you’re walking through this garden yourself. In the background, hints of orange and yellow pop from the field of marigolds, adding warmth that counterbalances the cool tones of the irises. It’s a wild, tangled mass of foliage, yet there’s a structure - a rhythm - that holds it all together.

The composition is tightly packed, the flowers filling the frame, leaving little room for the air. Van Gogh wasn’t interested in the horizon here; he’s zoomed in, making the irises the universe of their own. It’s like the world outside these flowers doesn’t matter, and in this intensity of focus, Van Gogh captures something timeless about nature - its ability to be chaotic yet beautiful, all at once.
