Still Life - Vase with Oleanders and Books - Vincent van Gogh - Oil Painting Wall Decor brings gallery-caliber art into everyday spaces. This still life oil painting is a 100% hand painted oil painting on canvas, created for buyers who want genuine post-impressionist canvas wall art instead of a mass-produced poster or paper print.
August, 1888
Oil on canvas
60.3 cm (23.74 in.) x 73.6 cm (28.98 in.)
Metropolitan Museum of Art, United States.
Painted in Arles at the end of August 1888, it depicts pink Oleander flowers in a majolica jug, resting on a table with two novels near the edge – the upper one is Emilie Zola’s La Joie de Vivre, which was published four years earlier.
The painting was exhibited at London’s Lefevre Gallery in October 1923 and was bought by the educationalist Michael Sadler, who kept it until 1925, when it was sold by the Lefevre Gallery to Elizabeth Workman, the wife of wealthy shipbroker, Robert Workman. In 1928, Elizabeth sold the painting back to the Alex Reid & Lefevre Gallery. It was offered to the Tate, which decided against the acquisition, and was eventually purchased by New York collector, Mrs William Clark and acquired by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York in 1962.
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 bedroom.
Oil on canvas remains the reference standard for post-impressionist reproductions. Our artists apply pigment by hand, blending the still life tones directly on the surface for depth that a printed still life oil painting simply cannot match.
post-impressionist canvas wall art is one of the easiest ways to warm a bedroom. Pair this piece with natural linen, dark wood, or brushed brass, and let the hand painted surface do the rest.
