Basket of Apples, 1885 – Vincent van Gogh Wall Art | Early Dutch Still Life Canvas Print
Choose options
Painted in autumn 1885 during Van Gogh's final months in Nuenen, Basket of Apples presents a humble cluster of fruit set against the deep, earthen darkness of his early Dutch palette. The composition is rendered in rich russet ochres, weathered browns, and warm shadow, with a single ribbon of light catching the curve of the basket. Van Gogh dedicated this canvas to the painter Anton Kerssemakers as a study in the dignity of ordinary things. The work stands as a quietly intimate testament to his lifelong reverence for rural life and the material poetry of the everyday.
