Two Diggers Among Trees 1889

Vincent van Gogh’s “Two Diggers Among Trees” (1889) is a captivating depiction of two figures engaged in labor, with their forms nearly consumed by the towering cypress trees that surround them. Van Gogh's signature style, characterized by bold brushstrokes and vibrant colors, is readily apparent in the swirling, expressive lines of the trees and the textured sky. This painting, now located in the Detroit Institute of Arts, exemplifies Van Gogh's fascination with the natural world and the lives of working people.
