*** About Irises under a Starry Sky: Created during Van Gogh’s stay at the Saint-Paul-de-Mausole asylum in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, this painting is a profound reflection of his state of mind during an intensely productive period of his life. It was here that Van Gogh fully embraced the expressive potentials of impasto and dynamic brushstrokes which became signatures of his style. The painting represents a departure from reality into a more emotionally charged, stylized landscape. His choice of irises was influenced by their presence in the asylum's garden, but their depiction goes beyond a simple botanical interest; they are imbued with a sense of yearning and resonance that fills the night air. Currently, the painting is housed at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, where it continues to inspire viewers with its vibrant colors and dramatic, dream-like quality.
