Just before Vincent Van Gogh left the asylum at Saint-Rémy in Provence — only a few months before his death — he painted a series of bouquets of spring flowers: irises and roses, to be exact. The paintings were left behind to dry, and that was the last time they would be seen in the same place — until now. As part of the exhibition, the delicate nature of Van Gogh’s palette will also be explored through an examination of the effect of color fading on his works. metmuseum.org
