Roses by Vincent van Gogh Jigsaw Puzzle

Roses was painted shortly before Vincent Van Gogh's release from the asylum at Saint–Rémy. He felt he was coming to terms with his illness and himself. This is one of two rose paintings Van Gogh made at that time. It is among his largest and most beautiful still lifes, with an exuberant bouquet in the glory of full bloom. Although he sometimes assigned certain meanings to flowers, Van Gogh did not make a specific association for roses. It is clear, though, that he saw all blossoming plants as celebrations of birth and renewal as full of life. That sense is underscored here by the fresh spring green of the background. The undulating ribbons of paint, applied in diagonal strokes, animate the canvas and play off the furled forms of flowers and leaves. Originally, the roses were pink the colour has faded and would have created a contrast of complementary colours with the green. Customise it with your own details.
