Peasant Character Studies by Van Gogh
The Peasants’ Churchyard is a painting that is a part of Peasant Character Studies, which Van Gogh created during the time period 1881 to 1885. Van Gogh had a special attachment towards the working class that included
peasants, weavers, farmers and fishermen.
Jean-Francois Millet’s peasant genre of work particularly impressed and inspired him. He considered his subjects as noble and very important when it came to development of modern art.
Van Gogh was well aware of the kind of changes industrialization had brought into the lives of the working class, minimizing their opportunities and making them poorer than they were. The Peasant Character Studies that he created was a very important part of his artistic development.
With time, he started living as they lived, visited the places they visited, went to the fields they worked in and endured the weather like they did. He felt for them and wanted to express things as they were.
