Landscape with Ploughman
Vincent van Gogh (1889)
Landscape with Ploughman compresses a steep Provençal valley into a vibrating mosaic of fields where a tiny figure with a white horse furrows the slope. Van Gogh turns cypress spires, a flame‑red roof, and banded plots into a pulse of <strong>human labor</strong> within <strong>restless nature</strong> <sup>[1]</sup><sup>[5]</sup>. The painting fuses elevated viewpoint and directional brushwork to stage endurance as pattern and rhythm.
