When he was young
Irises was painted while Vincent van Gogh was living at the asylum（庇护；收容 所；救济院） at Saint Paul-de-Mausole in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, France, in the last year before his death in 1890. It was painted before his first attack at the asylum. There is a lack of the high tension which is seen in his later works. He called the painting "the lightning conductor for my illness", because he felt that he could keep himself from going insane by continuing to paint. The painting was influenced by Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock（木板） prints, like many of his works and those by other artists of the time. The similarities occur with strong outlines（轮廓；大纲；略图）, unusual angles, including close-up views and also flattish(稍平的；有点平凡的) local color (not modeled according to the fall of light). He painted roses and two canvases with large bunches of purple irises. One of these was painted against a pink background, ‘the other purple bouquet (which extends to pure carmine and Prussian blue), is set against a bright lemonyellow background with other yellow tints in the vase & the base it stands on. He considered this painting a study, which is probably why there are no known drawings for it, although Theo, Van Gogh‘s brother, thought better of it and quickly submitted（呈递；提交） it to the annual exhibition of the Société des Artistes Indépendants in September 1889, together with Starry Night Over the Rhone. He wrote to Vincent of the exhibition: “It strikes the eye from afar（遥远， 远处）. The Irises are a beautiful study full of air and life."
