About the Painting:

          "Imperial Fritillaries in a Copper Vase" depicts a bouquet of golden imperial Fritillaries in a copper vase, the shiny patina of which (surrounded by lavender highlights) "reflects the color of the flowers as the motted wall stands out with a combination of blue, green and yellow shades" with flecks of white like "sparkling lights. Van Gogh was always open minded about trying new painting techniques and even liked to use several in a same work. This painting is an example of this, as it mixes pointillism in the background as "expression of the nature of the central focus of the painting" and Impressionism in the brushstrokes of the flowers and vase.Van Gogh applied these techniques inspired by Impressionists and Neo-Impressionists of the time, that would be later used in other pieces, mainly portraits and self-portraits.

Out of 900 works, Van Gogh signed only about 130, Imperial Fritillaries in a Copper Vase among them (upper left corner)

About the Artist:

           Vincent van Gogh was a Dutch painter who lived in the late 19th century. He is considered one of the most famous and influential artists of the Post-Impressionist era. Despite his lack of recognition during his lifetime, he is now considered one of the greatest painters in history. Some of his most famous works include "Starry Night," "Sunflowers," and "The Potato Eaters." Van Gogh suffered from mental health issues and ultimately died by suicide at the age of 37. Despite his tragic end, his legacy lives on through his impact on the art world.

What Is an Archival Print?

When it comes to fine art printing, several technical factors differentiate each technique and medium. Museum-quality prints use refined pigment particles to create captivating, finished artwork. It is also known as archival or Giclee prints, museum-quality images are subjects that undergo a sophisticated printing method using an inkjet printer. These illustrations use color-matching techniques and utilize high-quality archival ink and materials that a gallery or museum would approve. It’s worth noting that owning museum-quality prints is relatively close to owning original artwork.
