About the piece
Created in 1889 during his time at Saint-Rémy, this work reflects Vincent van Gogh's deep admiration for Jean-François Millet. Using a print as his guide, Van Gogh translated the scene into his own vibrant visual language, employing thick impasto and a harmonious palette of blues, greens, and yellows to elevate the humble figure of the woodcutter.
