Painting Description
"Rest from Work (after Millet)" is a painting by the Dutch Post-Impressionist artist Vincent van Gogh, created in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence in January 1890. The artwork is one of a series of interpretations that Van Gogh made after works by Jean-François Millet, a French painter whom Van Gogh greatly admired for his depictions of the rural peasantry. Millet's original work, titled "Noonday Rest," served as the inspiration for Van Gogh's piece.
In "Rest from Work (after Millet)," Van Gogh reimagines Millet's composition with his own vibrant color palette and dynamic brushwork, which were characteristic of his style during his later years. The painting portrays two peasant figures taking a break from their labor in the fields, a theme that resonated with Van Gogh's interest in the dignity of manual work and the lives of the working class.
Measuring 73.5 by 92.5 centimeters, the painting is executed in oil on canvas. Van Gogh's interpretation is not a direct copy but rather a personal homage that captures the essence of Millet's subject matter while infusing it with his own emotional and artistic sensibilities. The work reflects Van Gogh's ongoing exploration of the human condition, as well as his desire to connect with the tradition of French rural genre painting.
"Rest from Work (after Millet)" is part of a larger body of work in which Van Gogh paid tribute to artists he admired, including Rembrandt and Delacroix, by reinterpreting their works. This practice allowed him to engage in a dialogue with the past while also asserting his own creative vision. The painting is held in the collection of the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, France, where it continues to be studied and appreciated as an example of Van Gogh's profound respect for his artistic predecessors and his innovative approach to painting.
