画布油画71x93cm .1889年5月完成，现存于洛杉矶。
文森特·凡·高 .(荷兰)1853-1890
《鸢尾花》在凡高那些要么笔法升腾，要么布局简洁的花卉作品中显得格外突出，纵然知名度不是最高，画面整体感却相当出众的《鸢尾花》，有着幽闭的构图，厚重的色彩，灵活饱满的笔触，和细致敏感的绘画视角。丰硕的蓝紫色花瓣，大面积绿色的尖头长叶向上欲冲，星星点点的黄色花蕊，加上在一旁做衬托的与之一同繁茂生长的万寿菊，还有花丛下砖红色的土壤——形态各异又浑然一体。
《鸢尾花》不愧是凡高最出色的作品之一。如果拿他整个圣雷米时期的作品来讲，相信定然是除《星月夜》之外，最受人推崇的作品，只是《星月夜》是风景画，况且那种永恒流动的旋涡质感是凡高独特个性的象征。
同样是凡高描绘花卉的名作，相比较著名的《向日葵》组画中如烈焰般火热的，从画面中倾斜而出的激情，和那沟壑纵横般遒劲的笔触与为增加立体感厚涂而出的高光，《鸢尾花》以着另一种基调触动着欣赏者的感官。
克制还是倾诉？压抑或是抒发？挣动的花朵，浓密的花叶，蓝紫色的浓郁傲然盛放。
《鸢尾花》中最为引人注目的，应该是位于画面左侧，那一大朵白色的鸢尾花。它立于万寿菊与蓝紫色的鸢尾花之间，格外醒目。
