À propos de l’œuvre
Nature morte avec faïence et bouteilles, par Vincent van Gogh
Vincent van Gogh · September -October 1885 · Nuenen, Netherlands
Earthenware and bottles, F53Reproduction of oil painting on canvas
Three black green bottles stand behind a large brown terrine, a decorated stoneware pot and two light bowls. The objects are tight on a rustic table in front of an almost black background.
Look at the work
The dishes are ordered by height, color and material in a retained light
The round terrine occupies the center and contains a spoon placed diagonally. On the left, a small white cup advances towards the edge; on the right, the light blue bowl and the decorated pot form a second group.
The three vertical bottles close the background. Their green reflections are very limited, but they are enough to separate the glass from the dark background and extend the lines of the pot and spoon.
Earthenware and bottles F53/JH538 is a 39.5 × 56 cm oil on canvas painted in Nuenen in September - October 1885. The Van Gogh Museum preserves it under inventory s0138V1962.
Composition, touch and color
Three observations specific to this painting
Van Gogh contrasts several materials without changing tonal register: dark glass, red terracotta, beige stoneware, blue ceramic and table wood are all modeled in a brown and green range.
The containers create a series of nested volumes
Small cup, terrine, bowl and pot gradually rise to the right. The bottles repeat this rise at the back and give a stable structure to the whole.
The spoon passes through round shapes
Its diagonal starts from the terrine and goes up towards the bottles. It introduces a clear direction in the middle of bowls, pots and collars, mainly circular or vertical.
Light blue acts as a measured accent
The right bowl is the coldest and brightest area. It balances the beige of the decorated pot and the red-browns of the large terrine.
Documented benchmarks
Precisely identify the original work
F53/JH538, the format of 39.5 × 56 cm and the inventory s0138V1962 identify this still life of the Van Gogh Museum.
The work is now placed in September - October 1885
The museum's technical research has led to a re-examination of the dating of several still lifes of tableware formerly located earlier in the Nuenen period.
Objects allow you to study values
Without a live model or rapid light change, Van Gogh can compare the brilliance of glass, the dullness of sandstone and the reflections of ceramic.
The number s0138V1962 sets the identification
He distinguished F53 from the many close sets combining bottles, pots, clogs and mugs in the years 1884 -1885.
