Irises is one of several paintings of irises by the Dutch artist Vincent van Gogh, and one of a series of paintings he painted at the Saint Paul-de-Mausole asylum in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, France, in the last year before his death in 1890.
Van Gogh begin painting Irises before a week of entering the asylum, in May 1889, working from nature in the hospital garden. There is an absence of high tension which is seen in his later works. He called painting "the lightning conductor for my illness" because he felt that he could keep himself from going mad by continuing to paint.
The painting was likely to be influenced by Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock prints like many of his works and those by other artists of the time. The resemblance occurs with strong outlines, unusual angles, including close-up views, and also flattish local color (not modeled according to the fall of light). The painting is full of softness and lightness. Irises are full of life without disaster.
He considered this painting a study which is probably why there are no known drawings for it, even if Theo, Van Gogh's brother, thought better of it and quickly submitted it to the annual exhibition of the Société des Artistes Indépendants in September 1889, together with Starry Night Over the Rhone. He wrote to Vincent of the exhibition: "strikes the eye from afar. The Irises are a beautiful study full of air and life." The painting is one of his most famous works.

Reproduction of oil painting is very expensive and a time taking process. The completed painting requires at least a week for drying completely. After that, we apply two layers of protective coating to secure the painting from dust and mold. Only completely dried painting can apply a coating or the painting will be damaged. The process of painting may take more than 4 weeks to 6 weeks based on the size and complexity.
For stretching, We will add a 1.6" additional white canvas border on all four sides for stretching purposes. We do not provide stretched canvas due to several issues. We cannot take the risk of damage while shipping. Also, there are size limitations for sending framed canvas. Shipping a large-sized stretched canvas might cost more than a painting itself.
