*** About the Garden of the Asylum at Saint-Rémy with Irises and Cypress: Van Gogh painted this radiant landscape in 1889, during his stay at the Saint-Paul-de-Mausole asylum near Saint-Rémy-de-Provence. During this time, his work became fully absorbed by the expressive potential of color and dynamic forms, marking the height of his post-impressionistic achievement. The lush gardens of the asylum offered him a refuge and became the subjects of many of his paintings. Here, Van Gogh’s strokes are loose and impassioned, a technique that allows the emotional groundwork of his psychic state to resonate on the canvas. This artwork encapsulates the juxtaposition of serenity and a restless search for peace that defined his time at Saint-Rémy. Currently, the exact location of this painting is not listed, reflecting the widespread distribution of Van Gogh's work across various collections worldwide.
