A portrait of a peasant, painted with respect
Vincent van Gogh’s portraits were never just likenesses. He painted people as he felt them—layered, flawed, human. Portrait of a Peasant (Patience Escalier), now in the Norton Simon Museum, is a powerful example.
Painted in 1888 in Arles, the work shows a gardener Vincent deeply admired. Patience Escalier was an old Provençal man—weathered and quiet. To Vincent, he was more than a subject; he was a symbol of the south, of tradition, of hard work.
Van Gogh saw dignity in the working class
He once wrote, “I see more in a peasant’s face than in a man in a suit.” And in this portrait, with its thick outlines and glowing color contrasts, he elevates a humble gardener to timeless dignity. The strong colors and bold brushstrokes echo Vincent’s admiration—and his roots in rural life.
Though the world around him often misunderstood his choices, Van Gogh painted what mattered to him. And here, he gave us not just a face, but a soul.
