🍊 Child with an Orange – Vincent van Gogh (1890)

👧 A moment of innocence frozen in the light

In this touching scene, Van Gogh captures the freshness and spontaneity of childhood. A little girl, sitting in a meadow of yellow flowers, holds an orange in her hands. Her mischievous gaze and gentle smile breathe a surge of universal tenderness into the canvas.

📜 Creation context: Van Gogh's last year

This painting was created in 1890, in Auvers-sur-Oise, during the last months of the artist's life. In this moment of return to nature and simplicity, Van Gogh turns to everyday subjects, imbued with deep humanity. This intimate scene reflects his search for inner peace through gentle and familiar themes.

🎨 Visual analysis: a harmony of tenderness

The background of yellow flowers is stylized by short brushstrokes characteristic of Van Gogh, creating a sensation of natural movement. The child, with golden hair, wears a textured blue dress with swirling patterns. The orange she holds becomes the bright focal point, a symbol of vitality and simplicity.

💞 Symbolic reading: childhood, a refuge of purity

The innocence of childhood, embodied by this serene face, contrasts with the turmoil Van Gogh felt internally. The painting evokes the idea of an emotional refuge, a separate world where the sweetness of life persists despite hardships.
