The artwork, titled “Landscape with a Stack of Peat and Farmhouses”, was created by Vincent van Gogh in 1883 in the Netherlands. Executed with watercolor on paper, this piece falls within the Realism art movement and belongs to the genre of landscape painting. Currently, this artwork is housed at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
The artwork depicts a tranquil rural scene characterized by an expanse of fields under a subdued, overcast sky. A prominent stack of peat stands as the central element, surrounded by farmhouses that appear in the middle ground, blending seamlessly into the horizon. In the foreground, a narrow stream meanders through the fields, its reflective water adding a touch of light to the otherwise subdued color palette dominated by earthy tones. The artist’s use of muted colors and loose brushstrokes captures the serene and rustic essence of the Dutch landscape, evoking a sense of stillness and simplicity.
