“Still Life with Four Stone Bottles, Flask and White Cup” is an oil on canvas painting created by Vincent van Gogh in 1884, in Nuenen, Netherlands. This work, exemplifying the Realism movement and the still life genre, is currently housed at the Kröller-Müller Museum in Otterlo, Netherlands.
The artwork depicts a somber, yet intriguing arrangement of four stone bottles of varying sizes, a flask, and a white cup. Each object is bathed in a play of light and shadows, emphasizing their textures and forms. The simple composition and muted color palette convey a sense of quietude and contemplation. The objects are methodically placed, creating a subtle yet profound dialogue between them. The rustic setting and the earthen tones used by Van Gogh highlight his ability to transform commonplace items into a compelling visual narrative.
