"Arles View from Wheat Fields with Ploughman at Sunset" - by Van Gogh
Image ID: 29217
Bathed in the golden light of a setting sun, "Arles View from Wheat Fields with Ploughman at Sunset" is a stirring exemplar of Vincent van Gogh's fascination with the rural landscapes of southern France. The scene unfolds under a tumultuous sky, where strokes of vibrant yellow and orange evoke a profound sense of end-of-day melancholy and exuberance. The foreground of the painting showcases a vast expanse of wheat fields, rendered in thick, expressive brushstrokes that highlight the texture of the ripened grains. A solitary ploughman, bent over his work, becomes an integral symbol of human perseverance against the vast, impersonal forces of nature. The distant cityscape of Arles, characterized by its iconic architectural silhouettes, anchors the composition and offers a glimpse into the idyllic urban life that contrasts sharply with the pastoral intensity of the foreground.
