Vincent Van Gogh Oleander Still Life Large Gift Bag

This painting by Vincent Van Gogh, created in August 1888, depicts a vase filled with vibrant oleander flowers. Known for their lively and happy appearance, oleanders were a favourite of Van Gogh, and he captured their essence in this work. The flowers are arranged in a majolica jug, which was frequently used by Van Gogh for his still lifes in Arles. The piece is a testament to Van Gogh's post-impressionist style, with bold colours and dynamic brushstrokes that bring the flowers to life, reflecting the artist's emotional connection to nature and his surroundings.
