Sower 1888

"The Sower" (1888) by Vincent van Gogh depicts a lone figure scattering seeds across a freshly plowed field. The artist's signature thick brushstrokes, visible in the swirling patterns of the field, create a sense of movement and energy. This Post-Impressionist work reflects van Gogh's fascination with the cyclical nature of rural life and the simple beauty of labor. The vibrant colors and dynamic composition evoke a sense of optimism and the promise of future growth.
