Sower with Setting Sun 1888

"Sower with Setting Sun" is an 1888 oil-on-canvas painting by Vincent van Gogh, currently housed in the E.G. Bührle Foundation in Zürich, Switzerland. The painting depicts a solitary sower walking through a field at sunset, with a large, yellow sun dominating the sky. The thick, swirling brushstrokes characteristic of van Gogh’s Post-Impressionist style are particularly evident in the sky and the sower’s silhouette. The vibrant, contrasting colors and bold lines contribute to the painting’s sense of drama and movement.
