Natura morta, cesto di mele
1887
Signed simply 'Vincent 87,' this vibrant basket of apples captures the exact moment the Dutch master was experimenting with the bright, choppy brushstrokes of the Parisian avant-garde. Instead of the dark, earthy tones of his early Dutch period, the fruit practically glows against a swirling, sunlit yellow background, casting a surprisingly bold blue shadow to the left. It’s a delicious snapshot of Van Gogh finding his signature Post-Impressionist style, trading gloomy potatoes for a basket full of light, color, and energetic texture.
