We just learned about Van Gogh's painting Head of a Peasant Woman with a White Cap.
Another of Van Gogh's paintings is Still Life with Earthenware and Bottles, made in Amsterdam in 1884.
This painting is part of a bunch of paintings by Van Gogh called Still Life Paintings.
For a while he lived in the town of Neunen, and made a bunch of paintings of things like bottles, bowls and fruit.
All of these things were not moving, which is why the painting type is called still life.
He tried to do a lot of contrasting to show different colors against each other, like green next to red, and he tried to work on different shades of light showing on the things in his pictures.
While he was in Neunen he also helped to teach some other people how to be painters.
