GOGH, Vincent van: Still Life with Bible

🖼 Still Life with Bible, April 1885, Nuenen
Oil on canvas
Amsterdam, Netherlands

Candlelight flickers across an open Bible and extinguished candle, rendered in van Gogh's characteristic thick brushstrokes and somber earth tones. The intimate composition reflects the artist's spiritual crisis and psychological turmoil during his troubled later years in France.
