More about this artwork
"Daisies, Arles" painted by Vincent Van Gogh in 1888 is a vibrant and textured depiction of nature, showcasing Van Gogh's signature expressive style. This painting features a terracotta bowl filled with an abundant arrangement of white daisies. The bowl sits on what appears to be a table, with hints of a greenish background that suggests a grassy outdoor setting.The daisies are painted with thick, impasto strokes, capturing each bloom and leaf with a distinct form and vitality. The flowers vary in stages of bloom, from fully open to partially closed, adding a dynamic aspect to the composition. The colors used are primarily shades of green, blue, white, and touches of yellow, contributing to a fresh and invigorating feel reflective of a sunny day in Arles, where Van Gogh found much inspiration during his time.The background is rendered with less detail, allowing the daisies and the bowl to be the focal point of the artwork. Van Gogh’s use of light and shadow, as well as his free and swirling brushstrokes, create a sense of movement and life, suggesting a moment captured in time yet full of perpetual growth and natural beauty. The painting is not just a still life; it's an exploration of texture, color, and nature’s ever-changing form.
