About the piece

Painted during his Nuenen period in 1885, Vincent van Gogh's 'Basket of Apples' showcases his early interest in somber palettes and expressive, heavy brushwork. This traditional still life captures the simple beauty of rural life through a dramatic play of shadow and light on organic forms.
