À propos de l’œuvre
Nature morte aux coins, par Vincent van Gogh
Vincent van Gogh · 1887 -1888 · Paris
Still life with quinces, F602Reproduction of oil painting on canvas
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
Quinces shaped by color
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
Three observations specific to this painting
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.
Yellow versus blue green
The main contrast is between warm fruit and cold fabric. The two color families reinforce each other without the need for additional decoration.
A deliberately shallow depth
The close-up viewpoint, the raised canvas behind the fruits and the absence of sharp shadows bring the composition closer to the painted surface.
Very calculated red streaks
Short red lines emerge in the turquoise blue. Complementary to green, they further intensify the vibration of the background.
Documented benchmarks
Precisely identify the original work
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.
Quinces, not corners
The piriform fruits are yellow quinces with bumpy surfaces, gathered in a pile seen up close and slightly from above.
Simplified outline and shadow
The fine ocher ring and the renunciation of cast shadows take up solutions that Van Gogh observed in Japanese prints.
Entered Dresden in 1920
The work was acquired from Berlin dealer Karl Haberstock in exchange for a pastel by Rosalba Carriera.
Your reproduction
What the painter must preserve
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.
- Golden yellow quince pile
- Bumps modeled in white and ocher
- The turquoise blue fabric raised
- The little red streaks
- The purple-brown corner at the top right
