About this Still-Life Painting
In this vibrant still life from August 1888, the artist immortalized an arrangement of oleanders in a majolica jug, which also appears in other still lifes made during his time in Arles. Nearby, Van Gogh has symbolically depicted a copy of Emile Zola's novel La joie de vivre.
