Description
Van Gogh’s Still Life with Mackerel, Lemon and Tomato, hand-painted in oil
Painted in Paris in 1886, this fresh little still life lays a silvery mackerel on a plate with a bright yellow lemon and a red tomato against a plain ground. Van Gogh painted many such simple food still lifes in his first Paris year to study colour and the play of complementary tones; here the cool blue-green fish set against the warm lemon and tomato make a lively study of colour, painted in quick, sure strokes.
Our version is a hand-painted oil reproduction, brushed onto canvas by a senior studio artist so the fish, lemon and tomato keep the freshness of the original.
Where a still life belongs
Fresh and characterful, it suits a kitchen, a dining room or a study, and pairs well with wood and warm light.
Choose a hand-painted oil or a fine-art print
Order it as a hand-painted oil for genuine brushwork and impasto relief, finished by an experienced painter and made to order, or as an archival fine-art print for a smooth, even finish at a lower price.
