À propos de l’œuvre
Nature morte avec pot de gingembre et pommes, par Vincent van Gogh
Vincent van Gogh · September 1885 · Nuenen, Netherlands
Still life with ginger pot and apples, F104Reproduction of oil painting on canvas
A tall stoneware pot dominates three apples placed on an almost black table. Van Gogh creates volumes with a very narrow range of brown, bluish green and silver gray.
Look at the work
A stoneware pot set up behind three apples
The container occupies the right half of the composition. Its light collar, its blue-gray belly and its small handle stand out in fragments, as if the light were sliding on a matte and irregular surface.
In the foreground, a large round apple is framed by two smaller fruits. The table tilts slightly towards the viewer, while the background without detail absorbs the darker contours.
Still life with ginger pot and apples F104/JH923 is an oil on canvas mounted on panel measuring 30.5 × 47 cm, painted in Nuenen in September 1885 and kept in private collections in the United States.
Composition, touch and color
Three observations specific to this painting
The interest of this canvas lies in its economy. With only four objects and very little light, Van Gogh studies the differences between fruit skin, ceramics and the rough plan of the table.
The pot establishes the vertical axis
Its high silhouette stabilizes the horizontal format. The collar and handle, the only truly readable details in the upper part, prevent the large dark mass from becoming flat.
Apples form a triangular base
The central fruit advances towards the lower edge, while the other two move back on either side. This simple arrangement gives depth to the table.
Light remains deliberately rare
A few cream touches on the fruit and the pot are enough to separate the materials. The brown and blue-black shadows maintain the muted atmosphere specific to Nuenen's still lifes.
Documented benchmarks
Precisely identify the original work
The references F104/JH923, the support, the format and the dating make it possible to distinguish this composition from the other sandstone pots painted by Van Gogh at the same time.
F104 and JH923
The generic title varies between catalogs, but numbers F104 and JH923 precisely identify the version showing a single pot of ginger behind three apples.
A canvas fixed on a panel
The catalog describes an oil on canvas mounted on a panel. This assembly gives this small horizontal format a rigid surface.
A work in a private collection
The painting is reported in the United States and does not have a public museum inventory number. Its documented dimensions remain 30.5 × 47 cm.
Your reproduction
What the painter must preserve
The reproduction must retain the vertical silhouette of the pot, the three unevenly lit apples, the blue-gray reflections of the ceramic and the black-brown background without making it uniformly opaque.
- The clear collar and pot handle
- The round apple in the foreground
- The two fruits placed back
- The blue-gray reflections on the belly
- The table blending into the background
