The artwork “Still Life with Red Cabbages and Onions” was created by Vincent van Gogh in 1887 during his time in Paris, France. This oil painting on canvas belongs to the Post-Impressionism art movement and fits within the still life genre. It is currently housed in the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
The artwork presents a vibrant and textured depiction of red cabbages and onions arranged on a surface. Van Gogh employs bold brushstrokes and a vivid palette to infuse the scene with dynamic energy and depth. The vegetables are rendered with dramatic color contrasts, predominantly reds, greens, yellows, and purples, set against a backdrop that elegantly transitions from blue to yellow tones. The intricate layering of colors and expressive brushwork exemplify Van Gogh’s distinctive style, highlighting the mundane subjects with an elevated sense of vitality and movement.
