Painting Description
"Reaper with Sickle (after Millet)" is a painting by the Dutch post-impressionist artist Vincent van Gogh, created in September 1889. The artwork is one of a series of ten paintings and a drawing that Van Gogh executed after works by Jean-François Millet, an artist he greatly admired. Van Gogh's reaper, set against a bright yellow field, is a celebration of the cycle of life and the dignity of agricultural labor, themes that resonated deeply with Van Gogh and were central to Millet's oeuvre.
The painting, measuring 73.5 cm x 92.5 cm, is executed in oil on canvas and is characterized by Van Gogh's bold and expressive brushwork. The reaper, depicted in the act of harvesting wheat, is a solitary figure that dominates the composition, with the sickle in his hand serving as a powerful symbol of both death and the harvest. Van Gogh's use of vibrant colors and dynamic lines imbues the scene with a sense of vitality and movement, reflecting his own emotional response to the subject matter.
Created during Van Gogh's stay at the Saint-Paul-de-Mausole asylum in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, the painting is reflective of the artist's mental state at the time, as well as his ongoing exploration of the themes of work and peasant life. Van Gogh's interpretation of Millet's original work is a testament to his unique vision and his ability to transform his sources of inspiration into something distinctly his own.
"Reaper with Sickle (after Millet)" is held in the collection of the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, and it continues to be an important work for the study of Van Gogh's late period and his relationship with the works of other artists. The painting is a poignant example of Van Gogh's enduring legacy and his profound impact on the development of modern art.
