À propos de l’œuvre
Vase avec feuilles mortes, par Vincent van Gogh
Vincent van Gogh · November 1884 · Nuenen
Vase with dead leaves, F200Reproduction of oil painting on canvas
A blue-gray cylindrical vase bears a bouquet of scorched leaves, already curled up. On the table, other fallen leaves and a few small yellow touches extend the still life into the foreground.
Look at the work
Dry leaves form a red mass above a cold vase
The vase is placed slightly to the left of the central axis. Its vertical silhouette, decorated with a small dark pattern, contrasts with the oblique stems and irregular leaves that extend towards the edges.
The background and the table are not separated by a clear line: the same browns and blacks circulate around the bouquet. A few brighter yellows, particularly near the center and at the lower edge, awaken this autumnal range.
Vase with dead leaves F200/JH541 is an oil on canvas mounted on a panel measuring 41.5 × 31 cm, painted in Nuenen in November 1884 and kept in a private collection.
Composition, touch and color
Three observations specific to this painting
The main contrast is the simple, cold shape of the container against the warm, broken, moving material of the dead leaves.
The vase stabilizes the composition
Its straight wall and blue-gray color offer visual rest in the center of a very irregular bouquet. The small black decor accentuates its verticality.
The leaves are painted like fragments
Brown, orange and ocher are juxtaposed in angular touches. The broken contours make their dry and wrinkled state visible.
The foreground extends the fall
Scattered leaves surround the base of the vase. They connect the bouquet to the table and prevent the object from appearing isolated.
Documented benchmarks
Precisely identify the original work
The references F200/JH541, the format of 41.5 × 31 cm and the date of November 1884 place precisely this still life in the Nuenen period.
Autumn still life
Van Gogh chooses faded leaves rather than a bright bouquet. Their distorted shapes allow him to study a wide variety of browns and ochres.
A still Dutch palette
In 1884, his still lifes often used dark earths and restrained light. Ordinary objects are described by matter and tone relationships.
A canvas mounted on a panel
The documentation of the work indicates an oil on canvas mounted on wood, a compact support adapted to this small vertical format.
Your reproduction
What the painter must preserve
The copy must preserve the blue-gray vase, its small black pattern, the dispersion of the stems, the red leaves with broken contours and the yellow accents of the foreground.
- The cylindrical silhouette of the vase
- The small dark floral pattern on the belly
- Orange leaves in the center
- The oblique rods rising to the right
- Leaves fallen around the base
