Still Life with Five Bottles (Stilleven met vijf flessen), 1884 by Vincent van Gogh

Still Life with Five Bottles, painted by Vincent van Gogh in 1884, arranges five dark glass and stoneware bottles along a tabletop, rendered in the somber, earthy palette typical of his Nuenen still life studies. Painted in November 1884, the work forms part of the extensive series of tonal exercises van Gogh undertook as rigorous self-training, closely observing the play of light across glass and ceramic surfaces. It is a historically important record of the disciplined studies that preceded his transformative move to Paris.

Artist: Vincent van Gogh (Dutch, 1853-1890). Date: 1884.
