Still Life with a Basket of Crocuses 1887

Vincent van Gogh's "Still Life with a Basket of Crocuses" (1887) is a simple yet evocative depiction of a basket filled with emerging crocuses. The painting's earthy tones and thick brushstrokes, characteristic of van Gogh's style, capture the delicate beauty of the budding flowers. The crocuses, with their vibrant green shoots, symbolize the promise of spring and new beginnings. This work, housed in the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, exemplifies van Gogh's fascination with natural forms and his ability to convey emotion through the simple beauty of everyday objects.
