The Met Store Scarves & Wraps*Van Gogh Irises Neckerchief

An art scarf inspired by The Metropolitan Museum of Art.

This vivid floral neckerchief features a detail from Irises (1890) by Vincent van Gogh (Dutch, 1853–1890). In May 1890, just before his departure from the asylum in Saint-Rémy, the artist painted an exceptional quartet of still lifes, to which The Met’s Irises (and also Roses) belong. Striking in their execution and elegant simplicity, these bouquets and their counterparts were conceived as a decorative ensemble, like the suite of sunflowers he had made earlier in Arles.
