About the piece
Painted in 1886 during his time in Paris, this oil study by Vincent van Gogh depicts a plaster cast of the Torso of Venus. The work illustrates the artist's transition toward a more vibrant palette and bold, impasto technique as he engaged with classical form through a modern lens, resulting in a piece that feels both academic and radically expressive.
