Die zwei Werke 'Fiori e frutta' und 'Iris' sind seit ihrer Entstehung als Pendants betrachtet worden, wobei das Gemälde 'Fiori e frutta' von Giovanni Segantini selbst, während 'Iris' vom norditalienischen Künstler Giuseppe Barbaglia stammt. Die Tafeln dienten ursprünglich als Füllungen von Schranktüren. Es ist anzunehmen, dass beide Werke am gleichen Möbelstück angebracht waren, weisen sie doch fast dieselben Masse auf. Die beiden Maler Barbaglia und Segantini hatten sich während ihrer Lehrzeit an der Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera in Mailand kennen gelernt.
The two works 'Fiori e frutta' and 'Iris' have been regarded as counterparts since their origination. The painting 'Fiori e frutta' is by Giovanni Segantini, whereas 'Iris' was created by the North Italian artist Giuseppe Barbaglia. The boards originally served as decoration for furniture cabinets. It is believed that both works were part of the same piece of furniture, since they have nearly the same dimensions. The two painters Barbaglia and Segantini met each other during their studies at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera in Milan.
