Crab on It`s Back 1889

"Crab on It's Back," painted in 1889 by Vincent van Gogh, depicts a single crab on a bright green background. The crab is shown upside down, its legs and claws extended. The vibrant green background and the crab's fleshy, orangey-red limbs contrast beautifully with the deep brown of its carapace. Van Gogh's signature brushstrokes are clearly visible, adding texture and movement to the composition, creating a dynamic still life characteristic of his work. This artwork is a part of the Van Gogh Museum's collection in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
