Van Gogh – Red Cabbages and Onions | 1887 Oil Still Life

Vibrant purple-red cabbages and pale yellow onions arranged on a table, painted with thick impasto brushwork in rich complementary colors

Painted during Van Gogh’s Paris period, this vegetable study showcases his growing fascination with color theory and bold brushwork learned from the Impressionists. The humble kitchen subjects become electric through his juxtaposition of violet-reds against ochre yellows, anticipating the chromatic intensity of his later Arles work.
