Shoes by Vincent van Gogh replica in oil on canvas
Van Gogh Studio in Amsterdam offers painted oil replicas of Van Gogh’s most intimate still lifes. This version of Shoes, painted in Arles in the late summer of 1888, revisits an earlier motif but sets it within a real space: the red-tiled floor of the Yellow House.
More than an object
These worn leather boots may have belonged to Patience Escalier, an old peasant whose portrait Van Gogh painted around the same time. The cracks, weight, and setting evoke a life of toil and dignity. This is not just a still life — it’s a portrait in absence.
The soul of simple things
Van Gogh’s brushwork captures texture, hardship, and grace. This reproduction reflects his ability to find deep meaning in ordinary objects — a true meditation on humanity and empathy.
