Famous Paintings of Vincent van Gogh - Grapes, lemons, pears and apples (1887)

This is one of a group of related paintings of seasonal fruit that Vincent van Gogh painted in the fall of 1887. In these works, he simplified his palette, using many bright colors brighter and using thicker, wider paint layers than before. Here he explored the use of complementary colors, yellow and purple, blue and orange, red and green, for color intensity. The effect of this color contrast is enhanced by the pulsating brushstroke pattern that defines the tablecloth and creates a force field around the fruit.
