Description

Millet
Van Gogh’s example for this painting is The sower from 1850 by French painter Jean-François Millet, whom he admires greatly. He makes dozens of drawings after his great example, but in Arles he wants to paint a new, ‘modern’ version. Not dark, grey and without much colour, like Millet, but with radiant colours and sharp contrasts.
