About This Piece

Butterflies and Poppies by Vincent van Gogh is one of those images that never dates. Our studio recreates it as a hand painted oil painting — textured, color-rich, and ready to hang as canvas wall art in a home office, study, or reception area.

The Story Behind the Painting

1890
Oil on canvas
34.5 X 25.5 cm
Van Gogh Museum, Netherlands.

Butterflies and Poppies, the 1890 work by Vincent van Gogh, demonstrated that the lessons Vincent drew from his study of Japanese prints remained with him. The vivid red poppies and the pale yellow butterflies float on the surface of twisting dark stems and nodding buds, all against a yellow-gold background. Although composed of natural motifs, van Gogh's layering of pattern in Butterflies and Poppies suggests a decorative quality like that of a textile or a screen.

Our artists reproduce this still life composition in oil on canvas by hand, preserving the tonal range that makes still life oil painting so sought after for a home office.

How It Is Made

This is a genuine hand painted oil painting, not a canvas print. Our painters match the palette of Butterflies and Poppies by eye and build up the still life forms in thin layers, which is what gives the finished still life oil painting its luminosity.
