*** About the Still Life with a Basket of Apples and Two Pumpkins: Painted during the later years of Van Gogh’s life, circa 1885-1886, this artwork exemplifies the Post-Impressionistic movement that was gaining momentum at the time. Unlike his contemporaries who leaned towards abstraction, Van Gogh remained committed to the realistic portrayal of simple, everyday subjects, though he infused them with emotional depth and stylistic experimentation. The painting shows influence from the darker, moody tones of Dutch painting but anticipates the vibrant palette and emotive style he would develop later. Inspired by his surroundings and the change of seasons, Van Gogh chose objects that conveyed the bounty and beauty of the harvest season, reflecting his personal delight in nature’s cycles. Currently, the location of this particular artwork is not well-documented, suggesting it may remain in a private collection or yet undiscovered in public archives.
