À propos de l’œuvre
Nature morte avec pots, bocaux et bouteilles, par Vincent van Gogh
Vincent van Gogh · November 1884 · Nuenen
Still life with pots, jars and bottles, F178rReproduction of oil painting on canvas
A stack of jars, two dark bottles, a light jug and several small containers fill almost the entire frame. The yellow bowl in the foreground and the oblique case on the right open the compact mass of objects.
Look at the work
A workshop inventory constructed by stacks and diagonals
On the left, three potteries are stacked above a cylindrical container. The large ocher bottle and the black bottle occupy the center, while a small square bottle juts out in front of them.
The brown object placed diagonally to the right breaks the succession of verticals. The light bowl placed at the lower edge forms a second oblique accent and attracts light towards the foreground.
Still life with pots, jars and bottles F178r/JH528 is a 29.5 × 39.5 cm oil on canvas painted in Nuenen in November 1884. It is kept at the Kunstmuseum Den Haag.
Composition, touch and color
Three observations specific to this painting
Van Gogh models each container with a reduced range of browns, ochres and blacks, then uses a few lighter yellows to separate the planes.
Objects occupy the entire width
From the pot stacked on the left to the box inclined on the right, the shapes almost touch and produce an impression of abundance in a small format.
Two light accents guide the eye
The large ocher bottle in the center and the yellow bowl in the foreground emerge from a very dark brown environment.
The right diagonal gives depth
The box or case tilts towards the viewer. Its orange opening connects the background to the lower edge of the canvas.

A painting designed as an exercise
Van Gogh uses the method that Anton Mauve taught him: arranging ordinary objects in order to study their volumes, their values and their place in space.
A work painted on the reverse of a study
The letter "r" from F178r indicates the front of the support in the De la Faille catalog; the table is also listed under JH528.
A still life preserved in The Hague
