| Vincent van Gogh (Dutch, 1853 - 1890) Nature Morte: vase aux glaïeuls Oil on Canvas 51.1 x 38.7 cm. (20.1 x 15.2 in.) Courtesy of ArtNet |
Bursting with vivid hues of red, orange and yellow, Nature morte: vase aux glaïeuls exemplifies the genius of Van Gogh during one of the most transformative periods of his career, estimated US$5/7 million by Sotheby's New York in it's evening sales in November, 2016. When the artist first arrived in Paris in 1886, he had never seen an Impressionist picture, as works by Monet, Degas, Pissarro and the other Impressionists were not exhibited in the Netherlands until 1888. Teeming with newfound coloration, Nature morte: vase aux glaïeuls is one of the earliest examples of the vibrant floral still-lifes that would come to define Van Gogh’s work. Early ownership of the painting includes Théodore Duret, the renowned French journalist and art critic, and Paul Cassirer, the German art dealer who played a significant role in the promotion of the French Impressionist & Post-Impressionist artists.
