The Sower replica in oil on canvas
Vincent Van Gogh was a painter who revelled in the interplay of colours contrast. This is primarily why he was so interested in Impressionism and
Japanese block prints.
Van Gogh Studio is located in Amsterdam, near the Van Gogh museum where we can study the original works. Our paintings are all painted in oil on canvas by mainly Dutch artists who have studied Van Gogh's technique, including brushstrokes, color mixing, atmosphere and the rhythm of painting.
The Endless Cycle
The Sower, painted by Van Gogh at
Arles, in 1888, is widely considered to be a representation of The Last Judgement in the gospel of Matthew. It speaks about how God sows the seeds of the spirit in the soil of humanity and returns on the last day to reap the harvest.
There are two ‘Sower’ paintings which are quite similar in terms of the perspective used by Van Gogh. Both have the sun as the primary source of light, but at different times of the day. This one here shows the sun being high in the sky like it is at noon.
The other one, titled ‘
Sower in the setting sun’, as the title suggests was framed just before
sun down. Both paintings show a
farmer sowing seeds for the next harvest. The empty fields signify that the previous crop has already been reaped, thus reiterating the fact that life is an endless cycle of sowing the seeds and reaping the benefits.
Van Gogh’s fascination with celestial objects has been demonstrated in numerous paintings. Here, the sun looms over the farmer, almost as it were something to be worshipped.
The one thing that no one can miss while looking at ‘The Sower’ is a rhetorical fencing match that goes on between the sun and the ploughed field which makes for almost 3/4th of the painting.
It is also important to mention that after his tryst with
Portraits in
Paris, nature began to take the spotlight in Van Gogh’s paintings. In fact, Van Gogh was always looking to interpret the nuances of ambient light in his own way.
He once mentioned how the objective was to use his own colours to depict the scenes he saw.
It was almost as if he couldn’t care less about what the actual colours were and was more interested in giving the viewer a sensory overdose of complementary and
contrasting colours.
