Vincent Van Gogh (1853-1890) checked himself in 1890 into an asylum in Auvers-sur-Oise, north of Paris. While I don't know its name, it was here that he began treatment with Dr. Paul Gachet, who became (like many people van Gogh encountered) the subject of many van Gogh art paintings.

He was extraordinarily prolific during this period, creating some 70 art paintings in 70 days! You can read about some of the famous paintings van Gogh created during this time.

Why did Vincent Van Gogh draw Irises?

Irises was painted in the last year before his death in 1890, before his first attack at the asylum. He called the painting 'the lightning conductor for my illness' because he felt that he could keep himself from going insane by continuing to paint. To get to the answer, Irises was painted so van Gogh felt calm and serene. He needed or wanted to have a peaceful sense while he was in the asylum.
