Irises is an oil painting by Dutch artist Vincent van Gogh, created in 1889 during his stay at the Saint-Paul-de-Mausole asylum in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, France. The painting is widely regarded as one of Van Gogh's most celebrated works and is notable for its vibrant colors, dynamic composition, and emotional depth.

Van Gogh painted Irises shortly after his arrival at the asylum, where he sought treatment for his mental health. The work was completed in the garden of the institution, where Van Gogh found solace and inspiration in the natural surroundings. The painting depicts a cluster of irises in full bloom, rendered with bold, expressive brushstrokes. The flowers are set against a background of earth and greenery, with a single white iris standing out among the predominantly blue blossoms. This contrast has been interpreted as a striking visual element, though Van Gogh himself did not leave any written explanation of the painting's symbolism or intent.

The composition of Irises reflects Van Gogh's admiration for Japanese woodblock prints, which influenced his use of flattened perspective, strong outlines, and vibrant color contrasts. The painting is characterized by its rhythmic flow and attention to detail, capturing the vitality and movement of the flowers. Van Gogh referred to Irises as a "study," suggesting that he viewed it as an exploration of form and color rather than a finished masterpiece.

Irises was one of the many works Van Gogh created during his year-long stay at the asylum, a period of intense productivity despite his struggles with mental illness. The painting was completed before his most famous work, The Starry Night, which was also painted during this time.

After Van Gogh's death in 1890, Irises was owned by several collectors before being acquired by the art dealer and collector Ambroise Vollard. In 1987, the painting gained international attention when it was sold at auction for $53.9 million, setting a record at the time for the most expensive painting ever sold. Today, Irises is part of the collection of the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles, California, where it continues to be admired by visitors from around the world.

The painting is celebrated not only for its aesthetic qualities but also as a testament to Van Gogh's ability to find beauty and creativity in the midst of personal challenges.
