About this work

Medium: Oil on canvas
Original size: 71 × 90 cm
Collection: National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC

A great mass of roses tumbles out of a green vase against a green ground, the ribbons of paint laid on in diagonal strokes that keep the whole surface moving. Van Gogh painted it in May 1890 in the last weeks before he left the asylum at Saint-Rémy for Auvers, when he felt he was coming to terms with his illness and, as he told Theo, worked as if in a frenzy on big bouquets of irises and roses. It is one of two rose pictures from those days and among his largest still lifes. The blooms were originally pink, giving a complementary contrast with the green that has faded as the red pigment lost its colour, so the painting now reads in soft whites and greens. Pamela Harriman gave it to the National Gallery of Art in Washington in memory of W. Averell Harriman in 1991.

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 Roses 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 National Gallery of Art.

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 Roses painted, and in what medium?

Roses dates from 1890 and was made in oil on canvas; the original measures 71 × 90 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.
