Irises
The artist
Vincent van Gogh, a Dutch painter who found joy in flowers, gardens, and nature.
What you see
A garden bursting with blue-purple iris flowers, with one special white iris standing among them.
The story
Van Gogh painted these irises in 1889 in a garden in the south of France, enjoying the fresh spring flowers.
The style
He drew each flower with strong, curving lines and rich colors, so the whole garden feels alive.
Look closer
Look for the single white iris on the left, standing out gently among all the blue and purple ones.
Where to see it
You can see it at the Getty Museum in Los Angeles, in the United States.
Fun fact
Van Gogh called painting the flowers a way to feel calm, and this picture feels fresh and full of life.
