Did you know?
During his time in Paris (1886-1888), Van Gogh was greatly influenced by Impressionism and Pointillism, leading him to experiment with lighter palettes and broken brushstrokes. This humble still life of citrus fruit is a testament to that period, where he honed his technique and explored color theory, often painting everyday objects as a form of artistic exercise.
