About this work

Artist: Vincent van Gogh (1853–1890)
Year: 1889
Medium: Oil on canvas
Original size: 74.3 × 94.3 cm
Collection: J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles
Movement: Post-Impressionism

A bed of blue irises seen close up, their leaves and blooms outlined in dark contours against orange earth and a strip of marigolds behind; a single white iris stands at the left. Van Gogh painted it in May 1889 in the garden of the asylum at Saint-Rémy, within a week of arriving, and it was among the first works he made there. He called it a study, and there is no trace of the agitation that marks some of the later Saint-Rémy canvases: the drawing is firm and the colour clear, with a flatness and outlining that owe a debt to Japanese prints. The painting was shown at the Salon des Indépendants in Paris in September 1889. It has been at the Getty Museum in Los Angeles since 1990.

This print reproduces the whole work, uncropped, from a high-resolution scan of the original. The original is in the public domain.

Is this the whole painting, or a crop?

The whole work, uncropped. The image fills the print at the painting's own proportions; nothing is trimmed to fit a frame.

Is Irises in the public domain?

Yes. Vincent van Gogh (1853–1890) died more than 70 years ago and the work was published before 1929, so the painting itself is public domain. This print is a reproduction made from a high-resolution scan of the original, which is held by J. Paul Getty Museum.

What is it printed on?

Heavyweight matte fine-art paper with pigment inks, made to order in 12×18, 16×24 and 24×36 inches; the two larger sizes are also offered framed. Colours are matched to the scan, not brightened.

When was Irises painted, and in what medium?

Irises dates from 1889 and was made in oil on canvas; the original measures 74.3 × 94.3 cm.

What size works above a sofa or bed?

For a standard three-seat sofa or a queen bed, 24×36 inches reads as a single statement piece; 16×24 suits a narrower wall or a pairing. The print's proportions follow the original, so a landscape-format painting is wider than it is tall.
