Description

The painting "Rest From Work, After Millet" by Vincent Van Gogh is a masterpiece depicting rural life and the daily labor of peasants. This painting is a reinterpretation of the work "The Angelus" by Jean-François Millet, which Van Gogh admired deeply.

Van Gogh's artistic style is characterized by his thick brushwork technique and bold use of colour. In this work, we can see how the artist uses warm and earthy tones to represent the rural landscape and the peasants who rest after a tiring day of work.

The composition of the painting is very interesting, as Van Gogh uses the technique of perspective to create depth and give the feeling that we are viewing the scene from a distance. Furthermore, the artist uses the figure of a tree to frame the scene and give it a sense of harmony and balance.

One of the most interesting aspects of this painting is its history. Van Gogh painted this work while he was admitted to a mental hospital in Saint-Paul-de-Mausole, in the south of France. During his stay at the hospital, Van Gogh was inspired by the beauty of the rural landscape and the lives of the peasants who worked in the nearby fields.

In addition, there is a little known aspect of this painting, which is its relationship with religion. Van Gogh was a deeply religious man and in this work we can see how he uses the figure of the peasant to represent the idea of ​​humility and simplicity, values ​​that were very important to him.
