Franz Van Gogh Collection
With mental illness, Van Gogh was hospitalized in the French rest home Saint-Romy in 1889 and depended on creation to help control his condition. The painting was done during this period and inspired by the blossoming irises in the hospital garden. Every iris in the painting has its unique style, rich color and strong contoured lines, all expressing the artist's deep passion and the designer's unique talents.
Franz designer Brian Wu used the main element in the painting to create this artwork, transforming Van Gogh's canvas into a product of nature. The details are hand-painted and layers of colors are applied to show the touch of oil painting. The triangle indentation in the middle adds gradation to the three-dimensional flowers so that the irises seem to blossom freely along the vase.
