The artwork, titled “Still Life with Basket of Apples,” was created by Vincent van Gogh in 1885 in Nunen (Nuenen), Netherlands. Executed in oil on canvas, this piece belongs to the Realism art movement and falls under the genre of still life. Currently, it can be found in the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
In “Still Life with Basket of Apples,” a basket brimming with apples is the focal point, centralized against a predominantly dark and muted backdrop. The interplay of light and shadow highlights the textures and forms of the apples, lending a three-dimensional quality to the scene. The contrasting hues of green and yellow illuminate the apples, while the rough, irregular strokes emphasize their natural imperfections. The piece exudes a somber tone, characteristic of van Gogh’s earlier works, and demonstrates a meticulous attention to detail, reflecting the artist’s commitment to realism.
