Still Life with Lemons on a Plate 1887

Vincent van Gogh's "Still Life with Lemons on a Plate" (1887) is a striking example of the artist's signature style. Painted in Arles, France, during his Post-Impressionist period, this oil on canvas still life depicts five lemons arranged on a white plate against a blue-green background. Van Gogh's characteristic thick brushstrokes and vibrant colors lend a sense of dynamism and energy to the composition, transforming everyday objects into expressive subjects. Now housed at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, this artwork demonstrates Van Gogh's fascination with the simple beauty of nature and his ability to capture the essence of his subject matter with remarkable intensity.
