Width: 54 in Content: Cotton - 100% Horizontal repeat: 53 in Vertical repeat: 38 in Multipurpose BF-BR-79141-0 Width 54 inches Direction up the bolt Country of origin France Content cotton 100% Cleaning code S Clearly inspired by the flowers of Vincent Van Gogh but it appears the venerable fabric house was not allowed to advertise the print as such and ultimately had to switch colors and other details around in arrangement. Van Gogh's 1890 (June) Flower portrait from Auvers-sur-Oise, now in the Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam, was clearly the inspiration for the central "bouquet" with green vase. Van Gogh famously painted that bouquet in the home of his doctor, Paul-Ferdinand Gachet (1828-1909), whom he described as ‘a ready-made friend and something like a new brother’. We even know that he painted it at Gachet’s red table, on which the vase is standing in the painting (not textile). Van Gogh had left the mental hospital in Saint-Rémy just days prior in May 1890 and headed north to Auvers-sur-Oise, where several artists were already residing. Auvers offered Vincent the peace and quiet he needed, while being close enough to Paris for him to visit his brother Theo. Doctor Gachet, an amateur painter himself, advised Van Gogh to devote himself completely to his art. He did precisely that, painting the gardens and wheatfields around the village at a feverish rate. Vincent threw himself entirely into his painting in this period, completing virtually a work a day. His health seemed to be improving, too. No matter how 'healthy and fortifying' Vincent found the countryside, it was to no avail. His illness and his uncertainty about the future became too much. On 27 July 1890, he walked into a wheatfield and shot himself in the chest with a pistol. The wounded artist staggered back to his room at the Auberge Ravoux. Theo rushed from Paris to Auvers and was present when his brother died of his injuries on 29 July. Vincent was buried at Auvers on 30 July 1890. His legacy was a large body of art works: over 850 paintings and almost 1,300 works on paper.
