Noon - Rest from Work (after Millet), 1890

Noon - Rest from Work (after Millet), 1890. In the autumn of 1889 and into 1890 Van Gogh embarked on a series of paintings taken from his collection of prints that included Jean Millet, Eugene Delacroix, Rembrandt, and Gustave Moreau. It was a period when the artist was lacking in inspiration from external motifs - he had been at the asylum at Saint-Remy since May - and he was profoundly depressed. He once again turned to peasant subjects, and painted this picture after Millet's. The prints from which he worked were black and white, and consequently Van Gogh had to devise his own colour system, which undoubtedly he would have done anyway. Van Gogh often copied the works of Millet, whom he considered to be "a more modern painter than Manet".  100% Hand painted art: Size: Various Sizes Available  Medium: Oil Painting on Canvas Type: Reproduction Artist: Vincent van Gogh  Delivery Time: 14-21 days Item #: R-VAN-080 Noon - Rest from Work (after Millet), 1890 by Vincent van Gogh c
