Price History
Description
A reproduction of Vincent Van Gogh's 'Vase with Gladioli and Chinese Asters', 1886. Made in the UK, the museum-quality print is glazed and framed in solid oak wood, ready to hang on your wall. By the end of 1886, Vincent Van Gogh no longer had the finances to pay for models to sit for his paintings. Instead, he started to produce floral still lives. This new subject encouraged Van Gogh to experiment with brighter colours and an impressionist style of painting. 'Vase with Gladioli and Chinese Asters' demonstrates his ability to work with contrasting colours, positioning red flowers against a light blue background whilst using softer, less rigid brush strokes. Vincent Van Gogh was born in Holland in 1853. In 1888 he settled in Arles in Provence, where he was visited by Gauguin and painted his now-famous series of 'Sunflowers'. In the following year, a nervous breakdown brought him to a sanatorium at Saint-Rémy. It was during this period that he executed 'A Wheatfield, with Cypresses'. The traumas of his life, documented in his letters, have tended to dominate and distort modern perceptions of his art but the appreciation of his craft as a Post-Impressionist painter continues to grow. Have you thought about wall hooks and fittings?

About John Lewis
A Legacy of Innovation and Inclusion
John Lewis started as a small shop on London's Oxford Street in 1864. Today, it's part of a bigger family called the John Lewis Partnership, which also includes Waitrose stores.
What makes them special is that they're owned by their employees, known as 'Partners'. The idea, from the beginning, was to give everyone a say in how the business was run. With over 74,000 Partners (employees) at the heart of its operations, the essence of John Lewis's vision, from over a century ago, still echoes today being the largest employee-owned venture.
Adapting to Changing Times
Like many stores, John Lewis has had to change with the times. They've closed some shops but have grown their online business a lot, especially when more people started shopping online during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Their history is filled with key moments, like buying Peter Jones in 1905, adding Waitrose in 1937, and starting their website in 2001. They've always tried to adapt and stay relevant.
Commitment to a Greater Purpose
John Lewis believes in doing good and making the world a better place. This is seen in the way they treat their employees and customers. For example, in 2021, they were the first big UK store to give parents six months paid leave when they have a baby and two weeks paid leave if they lose a pregnancy. They've been around for over a century and always aim to do the right thing by everyone.
