*** About “Peasant Couple Plowing the Fields”: Created during Van Gogh’s period in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence or Arles around 1889, this painting reflects the artist's deep empathy for the plight of the working class. This artwork is a vivid example of Post-Impressionism, where emotional honesty and unrefined beauty break away from the idyllic illusions portrayed in previous art movements. Drawing inspiration from the rural landscapes around him and the daily lives of the peasants, Van Gogh aimed to portray the dignity and arduous life of agricultural workers. He translated their toil and the rugged landscape into a canvas of dynamic texture and striking color contrasts. Unfortunately, the current location of this specific work is not well-documented, suggesting it may be held in a private collection or yet undiscovered publicly. Throughout his life, Van Gogh remained moved and inspired by the raw human condition and the uncelebrated laborers, themes that continually permeate his works.
