''Noon: Rest from Work'' (after Millet) is an oil painting by Dutch Post-Impressionist artist Vincent van Gogh. Created in 1890, during the final months of Van Gogh's life, this work is one of a series of paintings in which Van Gogh paid homage to Jean-François Millet, a French painter whose depictions of peasant life deeply influenced him. The painting is a reinterpretation of Millet's original work, ''Le repos des faucheurs'' (The Resting Reapers), which Van Gogh admired for its empathetic portrayal of the rural working class.

Measuring 73.6 cm × 91.4 cm, ''Noon: Rest from Work'' is characterized by Van Gogh's bold and expressive brushwork, a vibrant palette, and the emotional intensity that marks his mature style. The composition depicts two figures, presumably farm laborers, taking a rest in the heat of the midday sun, a theme that resonates with the dignity of labor and the connection between man and nature, subjects that were close to Van Gogh's heart.

Van Gogh's version diverges from Millet's in its use of color and texture, reflecting his unique artistic vision. The painting's surface is animated by thick, impasto strokes that give a sense of the heat and light of the noonday. The colors are more vivid than in Millet's work, with Van Gogh employing his signature yellows and blues to create a sense of vibrancy and immediacy.

''Noon: Rest from Work'' is part of a larger body of work in which Van Gogh reinterpreted Millet's scenes of peasant life, seeking to convey his own feelings about the subjects through his distinctive Post-Impressionist approach. This painting, like others in the series, illustrates Van Gogh's respect for Millet and his desire to connect with the tradition of depicting peasant life in art, while also pushing the boundaries of that tradition with his own innovative style.

Today, ''Noon: Rest from Work'' is held in the collection of the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, France, and continues to be studied and admired for its poignant representation of rural life and its place within the broader context of Van Gogh's oeuvre and the history of art.
