Description of the painting by Vincent van Gogh “Pink roses”
Amazing canvases painted by van Gogh, but nobody bought his works. At least while he was alive, no one was interested in his canvases. It was a pity to him, and his friends, that no one bought such colorful canvases. But they were really colorful. No one can yet understand how he could achieve such paints.
Amazingly bright, eye-catching landscapes, still lifes, portraits and even self-portraits did not interest anyone. Only after death, a decade later, fame came to him, and canvases began to be bought up like nuts on the market. And at the auction of his paintings are already sold for many tens of millions of dollars. Did van Gogh think about such a success? It seems not. Well, maybe dreamed of. We must thank those who did not let these canvases disappear into oblivion, after the departure of the genius.
This canvas is one of the brightest. On a green background among the dark-green leaves, the buds of inconspicuous pink roses
Many are always tormented by only one question: how could such linens be overlooked? In principle, this question has an answer. All because of his reputation, but rather his illness. He was a little crazy. That is why the bright colors, a bit strange landscapes. It was this that prevented, they were afraid to take into the house the canvases of a person who does not have everything in order with his head. But now no one is confused. By the way, but experts estimated this canvas to be quite expensive and therefore not everyone can afford it.
