Tableware^The Met Store Van Gogh Roses Tumblers

$49.88

Gifts for the home inspired by The Met collection.

This artful set of glass tumblers evokes Vincent van Gogh’s (Dutch, 1853–1890)Roses(1890) in the Museum’s holdings, one of four exceptional still lifes completed just before his departure from the asylum in Saint-Rémy. The artist conceived of this quartet of radiant spring bouquets, which also includes The Met’sIrises(1890), as an ensemble. Though the color has since faded, traces of pink nestled in the pillowy petals and along the tabletop hint at the vividness of the artist’s “canvas of pink roses against a yellow-green background in a green vase” in its original state.
