About the piece

Painted in Arles in 1888, Vincent van Gogh's 'Shoes' elevates a humble subject into a profound exploration of texture and presence. The work showcases the artist's masterful impasto technique, where thick, directional layers of oil paint create a tactile surface that brings the weathered leather and the pattern of the tiled floor to life in a warm, earthy palette.
