Vincent Van Gogh - Still Life with Absinthe Magnet

Vincent Van Gogh's Still Life with Glass of Absinthe and a Carafe. Oil on canvas from 1887 features a solitary glass of green-yellow absinthe on a table in a cafe next to a bottle of water. Van Gogh chose to paint this from the patron's perspective with a window view of pedestrians walking along the street outside. Absinthe was popular to Van Gogh and other artists, although toxic and in some cases deadly, and may have significantly contributed to Van Gogh's poor health, stomach and nervous system problems, hallucinations and convulsions. Unlike similar stores, Art Lover's Cafe features classic, high resolution works of art that have been carefully restored, color-balanced & retouched to remove spots & artifacts commonly found in most reproductions sold online. Compare the quality and vivid colors of the artwork found here with others on the Internet and you'll see the difference.
