The near spiritual excitement of his swirling brushwork, contoured forms and intense colour has had a powerful influence on the development of modern painting. Though much of his work, like this \u003cem\u003eIrises\u003c\/em\u003e study, is filled with brightness and light, Van Gogh’s own life was filled with personal turmoil.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA severe mental health crisis, in which he now-famously cut off his own ear, prompted Van Gogh to admit himself to the Saint-Paul Asylum at Saint-Rémy in the south of France. His recuperation began with painting of the asylum garden, Irises chief among the resulting output. The close study of nature was the foundation of Van Gogh’s art, as his precise delineation of individual flowers suggests, but he also brought to that study an astonishing degree of subjective intensity. One can emotionally feel the painting’s strong colours, thickly applied paint and powerful decorative rhythms, all of which convey the artist’s sense of nature’s surging vitality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe are honoured to feature this seminal painting from the J.
