Van Gogh started painting “Irises” within a week of entering a mental hospital, in May 1889, working from the hospital garden. He called painting “the lightning conductor for my illness” because he felt that he could keep himself from going insane by continuing to paint. He considered this painting a study, although Theo, Van Gogh’s brother, thought better of it and quickly submitted it to the annual exhibition of the Société des Artistes Indépendants in September 1889, along with “Starry Night Over the Rhone.” He wrote to Vincent of the exhibition: “[It] strikes the eye from afar. The Irises are a beautiful study full of air and life.”
