在梵高的花影前，你看到了什么？

1888年，梵高与好友保罗-高更发生激烈冲突，割下了自己的左耳，精神一度陷入癫狂。次年，他被送进了位于普罗旺斯圣雷米的一所精神疗养院中。这一阶段，梵高创作了148幅油画和百余幅素描，其中就包括此次展览所要展出的《鸢尾花》与《玫瑰》系列。“鸢尾”与“玫瑰”各有两张，本次展览也是这四件作品的首次共同亮相。

Through cutting-edge technology, researchers have discovered that some pigments used by Van Gogh in this period were prone to degradation over time.
