Vase with Zinnias and Geraniums 1886

Vincent van Gogh's "Vase with Zinnias and Geraniums" (1886) is a vibrant still life showcasing his signature style. The painting depicts a vase filled with zinnias, geraniums, and other wildflowers in a rich palette of warm colors and thick brushstrokes. The dark background emphasizes the flowers, which are rendered with a lively, almost swirling, energy, typical of van Gogh's work. The painting is a testament to his fascination with the beauty of everyday objects and the power of color to evoke emotion. This oil painting is a popular example of Post-Impressionism and can be found in the National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa, Canada.
