Original – Still Life: Vase with Pink Roses is an oil painting on canvas completed by Vincent van Gogh in 1890, as he was readying himself to leave the Saint-Rémy asylum for the quiet town of Auvers-sur-Oise outside of Paris. It has been read as reflecting the artist's optimism about his future, both because of his choice of flowers as a subject and the colors used.
