Title of the article

[edit]

The title of the article in the list of van Gogh's paintings is "Vase with Pink Roses". The name at the museum is "Roses". And to further complicate the issue, aside from other paintings of roses by van Gogh, there's another roses painting he painted at the same time/place as this painting.

How should the painting be named in this case? It would seem to me that it makes sense to name it by the name at the museum, but I wonder if the title is too short (no definition from other roses paintings by van Gogh). Does anyone have any thoughts about this?--CaroleHenson (talk) 03:27, 24 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Roses (painting) like Sunflowers (series of paintings) seems fine, in the List of Paintings by Vincent van Gogh here I would use both - Vase with Pink Roses,/ Roses (painting)...Modernist (talk) 17:59, 24 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Still Life: Vase with Pink Roses
Still Life: Vase with Pink Roses is an oil painting on canvas completed in 1890 by Vincent van Gogh in Saint-Rémy. At the time the work was painted, Van Gogh was readying himself to leave the Saint-Rémy asylum for the quiet town of Auvers-sur-Oise outside of Paris. The painting reflects the optimism Van Gogh felt at that time about his future, both in his choice of flowers as a subject and the colors used. The painting is owned by the National Gallery of Art of Washington, D.C.Painting: Vincent van Gogh
