A ploughman and horse cross a field under a blazing sun

A large yellow sun blazes low in a swirling teal-green sky above a ploughed field. At the upper left, a row of poplar trees in yellow-gold leaf rises against the sky; to the right, a white farmhouse with a dark roof sits on the horizon beneath blue hills. A dark horse pulls a plough led by a man in the middle distance, the furrows behind them curving in violet, ochre and green brushstrokes. Small red flowers dot the lower left of the field. Thick, directional strokes cover the entire canvas.

Vincent van Gogh (1853–1890) painted for barely ten years and produced some 2,100 works, most of them in the last two. After early dark canvases of Dutch peasant life he moved to Paris in 1886, absorbed Impressionism and Japanese prints, and in Arles and Saint-Rémy arrived at the thick, directional brushwork and saturated colour that carry his sunflowers, cypresses and night skies. He sold almost nothing in his lifetime. His paintings are held by the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, the Musée d'Orsay and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
