{"product_id":"vase-with-red-poppies-vincent-van-gogh-1","title":"Vase with Red Poppies - Vincent van Gogh","description":"\u003cp\u003eA striking Post-Impressionist still life featuring a dense bouquet of red poppies against a deep blue background, painted by Vincent van Gogh in 1886.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePainted during his time in Paris, this work demonstrates the artist's engagement with colour theory and the influence of contemporary French painting. The composition centres on a simple, cylindrical vase filled with a dense arrangement of poppies. The artist employs thick, directional brushwork to build the form of the flowers, creating a sense of volume and movement within the bouquet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe palette relies on the contrast between the saturated red of the poppy petals and the cool, deep blue of the background. This juxtaposition of complementary colours creates a visual tension that draws the eye across the canvas. The green stems and buds provide a secondary layer of colour, adding variety to the dense cluster of blooms. The vase itself is rendered with lighter, more muted tones, grounding the composition against the dark, moody surface of the table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis painting reflects the artist's focus on capturing the immediate presence of his subjects. Rather than seeking photographic accuracy, he uses paint to convey the physical weight and texture of the flowers. The background is not a flat plane but is instead composed of energetic, swirling strokes that suggest a sense of atmosphere. This approach to the background is a recurring feature in his still life paintings from this period, as he experimented with ways to integrate the subject with its surroundings. The work remains a clear example of his transition from the darker, more sombre tones of his earlier Dutch period to the brighter, more experimental style he adopted after moving to France. It is a study of form, colour, and the application of paint, showing his interest in the expressive potential of the medium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/de\/products\/field-with-young-trees-in-the-foreground-piet-mondrian\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eField with Young Trees in the Foreground - Piet Mondrian — Piet Mondrian\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/de\/products\/landscape-with-figure-joaquin-sorolla\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eLandscape with Figure - Joaquín Sorolla — Joaquín Sorolla\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Vincent van Gogh","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58848383533391,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58848420102479,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58848420135247,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58848420168015,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58848420200783,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Vase-with-Red-Poppies_Poster_CompositorV1_1790070726110.jpg?v=1790071846","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/de\/products\/vase-with-red-poppies-vincent-van-gogh-1","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
