This painting depicts a typical rural motif with an ornate house, a field and a ploughman. The painting depicts the of southern France, which was particularly inspiring for van Gogh . We observe a wide open field where plowing is taking place. In the foreground of the picture stands a building , which is a typical country house of this region. Its yellow color and distinctive roofs attract attention. In the foreground of the painting we can see a plowman with two horses plowing a field. The figure of the plowman is shown in motion, adding to the impression of activity and rural life. There is a big sun above the horizon.

Vincent Willem van Gogh (1853-1890). Dutch painter belonging to Post-Impressionism. His paintings (some 900 paintings and 1,100 drawings and sketches) are among the most famous in the world and are sold for exorbitant sums (except for those in our shop). Parisian Impressionists He lived in Paris from 1886 and was influenced by the use of bright colours - most of his works were painted during this period. In his paintings, Gogh uses contrasting colours (often blue and orange - he said that I want to use colours other contrasts to each of them shone even more to contrast a man and a woman). He was known for his excesses and amputated an ear after the break-up of his friendship with Gauguin. There is a lot of speculation about this incident (he possibly suffered from heavy metal poisoning from paint that had caused mental problems). In 1890, unfortunately he committed suicide.
