À propos de l’œuvre
Nature morte aux pinceaux dans un pot, par Vincent van Gogh
Vincent van Gogh · November 1884 · Nuenen
Still life with brushes in a pot, F60Reproduction of oil painting on canvas
A red pot contains several brushes whose sleeves rise in front of two dark bottles. A yellow bowl and brown pitcher complete this studio still life, built from a tight range of ocher and earth.
Look at the work
Brushes transform a row of containers into a workshop scene
The pot occupies the lower center. Its brushes fan out and cross the vertical silhouettes of a large jug and a black bottle placed against the bottom.
The yellow bowl on the left receives the strongest light, while the brown pitcher on the right blends almost into the shadows. A small dark band crosses the background and ties all the objects to the table.
Still life with brushes in a pot F60/JH540 is an oil on canvas mounted on panel of 31.5 × 41.5 cm, painted in Nuenen in November 1884 and kept in a private collection.
Composition, touch and color
Three observations specific to this painting
The canvas assembles very simple shapes: cylinders, handles and long sticks. The difference in color and height is enough to produce a precise rhythm.
The brushes open the composition
Their sleeves spread left and right. They break the stiffness of the bottles while bringing attention back to the central pot.
The yellow bowl becomes the bright focus
Its acidic color contrasts with the darker ochres. Placed in the foreground, it balances the dark mass of the right pitcher.
Objects stand out through their outline
Van Gogh models volumes little; it especially reinforces the edges, handles and openings with brown or black lines.
Documented benchmarks
Precisely identify the original work
The references F60/JH540, the format of 31.5 × 41.5 cm and the date of November 1884 identify this still life from a workshop to a private collection.
The painter's tools are at the center
Unlike Nuenen's other pottery still lifes, this one clearly shows several brushes and connects household objects to workshop practice.
A variation among the containers from November 1884
Van Gogh changes the order, height and colors of pots and bottles to study the balance of familiar objects.
Canvas now mounted on panel
The F60 documentation describes an oil on canvas mounted on wood, in a small horizontal format of 31.5 × 41.5 cm.
