“Vase with Carnations and Bottle,” created in 1886 by Vincent van Gogh in France, is an oil painting on canvas. Exhibiting the Realism art movement, this still life artwork has dimensions of 32 x 40 cm and is housed in the Kröller-Müller Museum in Otterlo, Netherlands.
The artwork depicts a vase filled with yellow and red carnations, surrounded by a bottle and what appears to be a red book. The careful composition of objects is set against a dim, textured background, emphasizing the vibrancy of the flowers and the deep, earthy tones of the surrounding items. Van Gogh uses bold and expressive brushstrokes to give life and texture to the carnations and the accompanying objects. The interplay of light and shadow in the painting provides a sense of depth, bringing the still life arrangement to a vivid and realistic portrayal. The artist’s signature is visible in the lower right corner, a testament to his craftsmanship and attention to detail.
