Laboureur dans un champ

Laboureur dans un champ (Ploughman in the Field) was painted by Vincent van Gogh in 1889 while he was recovering at the asylum in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence. Viewed from the window of his room, the painting depicts a lone farmer guiding a plough through a freshly turned field beneath a vast, luminous sky.

With vigorous brushstrokes and earthy, autumnal tones, Van Gogh captures both the rhythm of rural labor and the symbolic weight of the scene. The solitary figure, small against the expansive land, reflects themes of perseverance, renewal, and the timeless cycle of nature. Laboureur dans un champ stands as a powerful meditation on the dignity of work and the healing force of the landscape.
