The artwork, titled “Landscape with House and Ploughman,” was created by Vincent van Gogh in 1889 in France. This piece is composed using oil on canvas and measures 33 by 41.4 cm. It belongs to the Cloisonnism art movement and represents the genre of landscape painting. Currently, it is housed at the Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg, Russia.
In the artwork, Van Gogh presents a serene rural landscape characterized by vibrant colors and bold contours. The scene is composed of fragmented fields in various tones of yellow, orange, green, and blue, depicting an agricultural countryside. A small house with a red roof sits prominently in the foreground, surrounded by lush vegetation and trees. A ploughman and his horse are depicted working in the fields, providing a sense of movement and purpose to the composition. The style marked by expressive, undulating lines and vivid, contrasting colors makes it a quintessential example of Cloisonnism. The overall impression is one of harmonious coexistence with nature, captured through Van Gogh’s distinctive, emotive brushwork.
