In this artwork, how is the Van Gogh in Nuenen discussed?
In November 1884 Van Gogh taught some friends from Eindhoven, a large town near Nuenen, to paint inanimate objects in oil. Van Gogh, in his enthusiasm, created a series of still life paintings of bottles, bowls and pots and other objects.  Still Life with Straw Hat was painted at Nuenen during this period.  He wrote that the paintings would be hard to sell, but having deemed the effort valuable he painted still life compositions throughout the winter.
