🍎 Still life with apples, flowered pitcher, and brown pot – Vincent van Gogh (circa 1886)

🌼 A poetic composition with rustic accents

In this still life delicately orchestrated, Van Gogh unfolds all the tenderness of a suspended moment. A bouquet of small yellow flowers blooms spontaneously in a decorated white pitcher, surrounded by apples, a rustic terracotta pot, and a bluish earthenware plate. A scene of gentle simplicity, where each object seems to pose in the silence of the studio.

🕰 Historical context: Paris and the learning of color

This work is part of the still lifes created by Van Gogh in Paris during the years 1886-1887. Influenced by the Impressionists and Japanese painters, he explores here light, textures, chromatic harmonies, while practicing mastering composition. The painting evokes the Dutch roots of the painter, while announcing his future colorful explosion.

🎨 Visual analysis: balance, texture, and light

The palette is soft, dominated by cream, ochre, tender green, and sky blue tones. The yellow flowers form a vibrant visual focal point at the heart of the composition. The treatment of the ceramics, fruits, and fabric reveals a meticulous attention to textures, typical of the emerging post-impressionist style.

The light seems to filter from the left, highlighting the volumes with delicate shadow play.

💭 Symbolic interpretation: simplicity and domestic harmony

Here, Van Gogh captures the beauty of ordinary things. This still life exudes an inner peace, a tribute to daily life and to simple rural joys. The contrast between the materials – the softness of the fruits, the hardness of the pot, the fragility of the flowers – suggests a balance between nature and culture.
