Adults - Vincent van Gogh - Field with Irises near Arles

Van Gogh was fascinated by the colors of the landscape around the city of Arles. He particularly loved the contrast between the yellow and purple flowers in the fields. He believed he saw in the landscape a reflection of the world he knew from his collection of Japanese prints, and he incorporated elements of their techniques into his paintings.
