Still Life Potatoes in a Yellow Dish 1888

"Still Life: Potatoes in a Yellow Dish" is a painting by Vincent van Gogh created in 1888. It depicts a bowl filled with potatoes, a simple subject that van Gogh imbued with emotional depth. The potatoes, rendered in his characteristic thick brushstrokes, evoke a sense of humility and the hardships of peasant life. The contrasting colors of the yellow bowl and the blue table cloth add to the visual impact, further emphasizing the significance of this humble meal.
