Franz Collection Van Gogh Iris Flower Design Sculptured Porcelain Large Vase

About the Irises Van Gough Collection

The inspiration for this collection comes from Van Gogh's 1890 painting 'Irises'. With mental illness, Van Gogh was hospitalized in the French rest-home Saint-Remy in 1989. He depended on creation to control his condition. This painting ws done during this period. Van Gogh painted the blossoming irises in a vase, bringing life to every flower with his unique style and deep passion.

Franz designers used the main element in the painting to create this artwork, transforming the vase into Van Gogh's canvas. The details are hand painted, and layers of colours complete the touch of an oil painting. The triangle indentation in the middle adds graduation to the there-dimensional flowers so that the irises seem to blossom freely along the vase.
