Description
Vincent van Gogh’s most famous works, including “Starry Night,” feature bright colors and whimsical themes. In “The Cottage,” however, viewers see a more introspective side of this artist’s tortured soul. Painted in 1885, this quiet scene features incredibly dark colors with only some lighter contrast in select patches across the canvas. The cottage was actually a peasant dwelling, but the murky tones and unsettling nature of the scene reveals van Gogh’s restless spirit and troubled mental state that was so often reflected in his paintings. In “The Cottage,” Vincent van Gogh explores a darker side and a more realistic painting style. Find this and other stunning Vincent van Gogh paintings for sale when you shop at overstockArt.
