Description
Van Gogh’s Basket of Potatoes, hand-painted in oil
Painted in Nuenen in 1885, this earthy still life heaps a rough basket high with potatoes, modelled in thick strokes of warm brown and ochre against a dark ground. Van Gogh painted the potato, the staple of the peasants he admired, as a subject worthy of real attention, finding a quiet dignity and weight in the humblest of foods.
Our version is a hand-painted oil reproduction, brushed onto canvas by a senior studio artist so the heaped potatoes and earthy colour keep the character of the original.
Where an earthy still life belongs
Its warm, rustic palette suits a kitchen, a pantry, a study or a dining room, and pairs well with wood and warm light.
Choose a hand-painted oil or a fine-art print
