Irises
Vincent van Gogh (1889)
Conceived as what its creator called a “lightning conductor for my illness,” this Post-Impressionist triumph channels turbulent emotion into disciplined natural vitality. Heavily influenced by Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock prints, the composition eliminates the horizon entirely, using flattened spatial planes and bold sinuous outlines to immerse the viewer in living color. Conservation science later revealed that fugitive red lake pigments gradually faded over time, transforming the blossoms from their original violet into luminous cobalt blue.
Heavyweight natural cotton canvas printed with Irises on one side and its museum wall plaque on the other. Built with reinforced straps for books, daily errands, or a trip to the gallery.

Why We Print on Both Sides
When you visit J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles, half the magic of standing in front of Irises (1889) is leaning in to read the wall label next to the frame. We wanted our pieces to capture that same experience. One side shows Vincent van Gogh’s work in crisp detail, and the other side carries its museum wall plaque so the history behind the canvas is never lost.
Collector Reviews (4.9 / 5 • 26 Reviews)
“The color fidelity on Irises is remarkable, and having the curatorial wall plaque from J. Paul Getty Museum printed on the reverse makes it a genuine conversation piece.”
“Bought this for an art history colleague who adores Vincent van Gogh. The print is crisp on both sides and the historical notes on the reverse are wonderfully researched.”
