Still Life with Cabbage and Clogs 1881

Vincent van Gogh's "Still Life with Cabbage and Clogs" (1881) is a striking example of his early artistic style. The painting, housed in the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, features a simple arrangement of a cabbage, potatoes, and clogs. Van Gogh's use of thick brushstrokes and earthy colors creates a textured surface, typical of his early works. The composition is balanced yet dynamic, suggesting the artist's fascination with the ordinary objects of everyday life. This painting exemplifies van Gogh's emerging unique style.
