Van Gogh Enclosed Field with Ploughman Glossy Poster

Enclosed Field with Ploughman by Vincent Van Gogh, oil on canvas 1889, is a landscape painting of vast, colourful farm fields under the rolling clouds and sky of the south of France, with a lone farmer ploughing his hilly land behind a team of mules. In the distance, a white windmill sits on a hilltop, near the town of Arles. Painted in short, broken brushstrokes of similar and contrasting colours that expressively define the forms and underlying movement of furrowed soil, hills and sky, the picture exemplifies the heightened, expressive colours and emphatic drawing of the artist’s personal, Post-Impressionist style.
