Artwork description
Vincent van Gogh · 1887 -1888 · Paris
A compact cluster of golden yellow quinces rests on turquoise blue fabric; the proximity of the motif, the almost total absence of cast shadows and the scattered red touches transform this modest subject into a study of contrasts.
Look at the work
The fruits occupy the center of the canvas in an irregular mass. The slightly plunging viewpoint makes bumps, hollows and tails visible without resorting to complex staging.
The blue-green fabric rises behind the quinces and reduces depth. Its short oblique streaks respond to the yellow touches of the fruits, while a few red accents reinforce the surrounding green.
Van Gogh uses still life as a chromatic laboratory: the yellows and oranges of quinces gain intensity upon contact with complementary blues and greens.
Composition, touch and color
The Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden keep this oil on canvas measuring 46 × 59.5 cm under the number Gal.-Nr. 2593; the catalog reference is F602.
The main contrast is between warm fruit and cold fabric. The two color families reinforce each other without the need for additional decoration.
The close-up viewpoint, the raised canvas behind the fruits and the absence of sharp shadows bring the composition closer to the painted surface.
Short red lines emerge in the turquoise blue. Complementary to green, they further intensify the vibration of the background.
Documented benchmarks
The Dresden notice analyzes the canvas as a study of complements and notes the influence of Japanese prints in the contours and the absence of cast shadows.
The piriform fruits are yellow quinces with bumpy surfaces, gathered in a pile seen up close and slightly from above.
The fine ocher ring and the renunciation of cast shadows take up solutions that Van Gogh observed in Japanese prints.
The work was acquired from Berlin dealer Karl Haberstock in exchange for a pastel by Rosalba Carriera.
Your reproduction
The copy must differentiate each quince without isolating them, preserve the yellow-blue-green contrasts and maintain the very brief red lines which punctuate the fabric.
