🍋 Still life with lemons on a plate – Vincent van Gogh (1887)

A dazzling simplicity in the service of emotion

In this luminous and discreet work, Van Gogh elevates the ordinary. A simple white plate, placed on a table, holds five yellow lemons with golden reflections. The composition, refined, captures the eye with a quiet intensity, a Mediterranean warmth that is restrained.

Context: a study of light in Paris

Created in Paris in 1887, this still life is part of a period of experimentation. Van Gogh, then influenced by the Impressionists and the Nabis, explores color relationships and light effects. The lemons become a pretext to play with contrasts: yellow against blue, light against shadow.

Visual analysis: sobriety and accuracy

The key elements:

• A fine touch, almost pointillist, especially in the background

• Shades of lemon yellows, greens, grays, and ochres, skillfully balanced

• A white porcelain plate that subtly reflects the colors

• A textured background that adds depth to the whole

This painting highlights Van Gogh's talent for transforming the ordinary into visual poetry.

A symbolic work: freshness, simplicity, balance

The lemon evokes both purity, vitality, and the awakening of the senses. In this still life, Van Gogh seems to invite us to meditation on the present moment, to the silent contemplation of simple things.
