Basket of Hyacinth Bulbs
Vincent van Gogh (1887 (January–February))
<strong>Basket of Hyacinth Bulbs</strong> turns a modest basket of soil‑caked bulbs into a scene of <strong>latent vitality</strong>, painted in warm ochres and radiant yellows that encircle the motif like light. On an <strong>oval wooden panel</strong>, short, tactile strokes press the weave of the basket and the papery skins while green shoots puncture the dark soil, declaring life on the verge of emergence <sup>[1]</sup><sup>[2]</sup>.
