"The Reaper (after Millet)" is a painting by Dutch Post-Impressionist artist Vincent van Gogh, created in September 1889 during his time at the Saint-Paul-de-Mausole asylum in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, France. This artwork is one of several that Van Gogh painted as homages to Jean-François Millet, a Realist painter whom he greatly admired for his depictions of peasant life. Van Gogh's series of works based on Millet's themes is often seen as a means for him to maintain a connection with the outside world and the subject matter he loved while confined to the asylum.

The painting portrays a solitary figure of a reaper working in the fields, a subject that Millet had famously depicted in his own works. Van Gogh's interpretation, however, is imbued with his signature vibrant color palette and dynamic brushwork, which imbue the scene with a sense of vitality and intense emotion. The reaper is shown against a backdrop of a golden wheat field under a bright, swirling sky, which may reflect Van Gogh's ongoing preoccupation with themes of life, death, and the passage of time.

Measuring 73.5 cm x 92 cm, the painting is executed in oil on canvas. Unlike Millet's more somber and realistic approach, Van Gogh's version is characterized by a sense of movement and the use of thick, expressive brushstrokes that convey the heat of the harvest and the relentless toil of the worker. The reaper, a symbol of death in traditional iconography, is depicted by Van Gogh as an emblem of the cycle of life and nature's eternal rhythms.

"The Reaper (after Millet)" is part of a larger body of Van Gogh's work that reflects his respect for the laborers and his interest in the agrarian lifestyle, which he believed was imbued with a simple and profound beauty. Today, the painting stands as a testament to Van Gogh's ability to reinterpret the works of artists he admired while infusing them with his own unique perspective and emotional resonance. It remains an important piece within the oeuvre of Van Gogh's late period and contributes to the understanding of his artistic evolution and the themes that preoccupied him during his final years.
