- Taking advantage of the coronavirus crisis, this week, Vincent Van Gogh's The Parsonage Garden at Nuenen in Spring was stolen! Here's an analysis of it as well as a description of his later work The Potato Eaters. These are two paintings Van Gogh did in the realist style, pioneered by Gustave Courbet. Both realized during his time at the city of Nuenen, Netherlands less than a year apart, Parsonage at City of Nuenen realized in 1884 and the Potato Eaters during 1885, the latter being his first major artwork.

omg the devil works hard but you work harderrrrr
you know who works even harder? the potato eaters
Sometimes I find Van Gogh's earlier works to be even more intriguing than his later works. When he moved to Nuenen, he was fascinated by the everyday life of peasants, who inhabited the small and run-down location. He painted three major series of paintings: the church tower, weavers and his peasant studies. The church tower series depicts the old church tower that sat in the middle of Nuenen, where the peasants would have daily mass (you can see this in his early masterpiece "Congregation Leaving the Reformed Church at Nuenen"). The weavers is actually one of my favourites, because of its simplicity, both in technique and what the paintings depict. Van Gogh chooses to paint the local weavers, a common occupation around the 1880s, and the moods vary from painting to painting. In each of them, the large loom rises above them, casting a dim shadow over the labouring figure. In many of the works in the series, a window is next to them, out of which you can see the church tower, looming ominously in the field. The final series, his famous peasant studies, were artistic studies of the peasants' heads, basically portraits. He painted a multuous amount of these portraits, many of which have quite a depressing feel to them. Van Gogh was quite fond of darker colour schemes around this time, which reflects in his earlier works. He painted two studies of "The Potato Eaters" before the final result was finished, as well as an engraving.
I have loved the works of Van Gogh for my entire life. I have even painted in his style, although I am better at sculpture. But today I come to find that I share a birthday with the man I admire so much. I would like to thank you for bringing this to my attention. Best wishes
I love your content, you give us food for our brain, you edit beautifully, you give great explaination about things I rarely know about, and you provide quality examples. Thank you for this video and for your work!
What a wholesome comment!!
Thank you so much Marine! You're so sweet! This just made my day!
So true!!
I really like the tenderness in a couple of the faces, testifying that the coarseness of their lives has not dehumanized them. The other two visible faces are downcast , but the two who gaze on them see beyond their exhaustion to somebody treasured. In the middle we see the back of a little girl, but not her face. Will she grow up to be one of those whose humanity becomes hidden with exhaustion, or one of those insightful ones who sees something lovable in those too weary to show it obviously?
I came to your channel after watching the video about how the spanish flue affected art, on instagram. I have to say that i really appreciate your work, i love the way you explain, the connections you make, and the originality of your content. Thank you for your work and keep going, you are amazing ;)
Thank you so much Nehar! This has to be one of the sweetest comment I've ever received! It made my day!
Thank you again!
Truly beautiful essay
Thank you very much!
You may feel that the features on these faces are exaggerated. I was once on a tram in Kiev and I was struck by how the faces of the passengers called this painting to mind. Genuinely rough and worn, carved like granite, not long out of Soviet suppression.
loved it! glad that you did something lesser known but nevertheless impactful:)
You're welcome! It was super fun to make!!
Awesome video! Keep up! 💛
Thank you!
Ayy gerçekten Teşekkürler resim yapip okulu temsil etmek için bu resime ihtiyecim vardi sağolun
Underrated vid
The Art Gallery of New South Wales in Sydney has a study for The Potato Eaters, it's all we could afford!
nice vid!!
The potato eaters painting reminds me a bit of Goya's work...
Have English speakers ever heard van goch spoken by a Dutch person, cuz it’s getting only funnier and funnier for me
From me would stolen a lot of Painrings too in germany and now Monaco
Idk why but it really irks me when people pronounce Gogh as Go 🙃
How it is pronounced Anders
@@PostTraumaticSwagDisorder in Dutch? Like “Khokh” (like a guttural sound). As that sound doesn’t exist in English, the closest approximation is to pronounce it “goff”.
although I really appreciate your series and your comments here, those very comments are undermined when they have to compete w/ the excerpts of Vincent's letters that you display on the screen. it is realllly hard to focus on the visual words and your comments at the same time. why did you decide to do this this way? I am confused and will have to play the video two or three times to get the gist of what you intend to convey. I also found it disconcerting that, in the beginning minutes of the video, the paintings depicted are not in sync with your comments. what happened here?
It almost seems like he's making fun of them to be honestly. Right down the the name potato eaters
fuck's the songs name
A gift for you, Vincent had an affair with the first woman on the viewer’s left.
My ears bleed from the pronunciation in that news report, I'm aware the 'G' in Van Gogh is difficult (and two of them as well), but butchering 'Nuenen' like that is next level bad :/
The Canvas pronunciation of Nuenen was spot on b.t.w.
Even in the comments, no one cares about the first painting “that was stolen”
Maybe I will say a blasphemous thing, but the final works of art school students are better.
Oh yeah, it is soo realistic... only if the whole family suffers from some severe genetic disorder! 😀 Sweet Home Alabama... amirite? 🎵🎵
