The artwork “Still Life with Blue Enamel Coffeepot, Earthenware and Fruit,” created by Vincent van Gogh in 1888 in Arles, Bouches-du-Rhône, France, is an oil on canvas painting epitomizing the Post-Impressionism movement. The painting, with dimensions of 65 x 81 cm, belongs to the still life genre and is currently housed in a private collection.
In the artwork, a serene scene of everyday objects is meticulously depicted. The composition includes a prominently placed dark blue enamel coffeepot at the center, accompanied by a checkered jug and a richly decorated earthenware pitcher. Also present are a cup and saucer, situated closely to two lemons and two oranges, which provide a vivid contrast against the muted green and blue backdrop. The tablecloth appears in soft, textured blue tones, harmonizing with the overall color scheme. The careful arrangement and choice of objects reflect van Gogh’s mastery in bringing simplicity and beauty to ordinary items.
