Vincent van Gogh, Two Peasant Women, 1890 Van Gogh used the women from Millet's The Gleaners as inspiration for this painting of women digging in the frozen snow. Unlike the others, this work is not a literal translation of the original painting. The setting sun casts a warm glow over the fields of snow. The cool colors of the field contrast to the red in the sun and sky. Jan Hulsker places the painting as one of van Gogh's "reminisces of the North".[1] Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890), Two Peasant Women, March 1890 - April 1890, oil on paper mounted on canvas, h 49.3 x w 64 cm, Kunsthaus Zürich Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890), Two Peasant Women, March 1890 - April 1890, oil on paper mounted on canvas, h 49.3 x w 64 cm, Kunsthaus Zürich Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890), Two Peasant Women, March 1890 - April 1890, oil on paper mounted on canvas, h 49.3 x w 64 cm, Kunsthaus Zürich Artist Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890) Title French: Deux Paysannes Two Peasant Women Obje...

Vincent van Gogh, Snow-Covered Field with a Harrow (after Millet), January 1890 Van Gogh used Millet's work, and Alfred Delaunay's etching of Millet's work, as inspiration for this painting. In Van Gogh's version he added black crows and made the winter scene more bleak, deserted and cold. His choice of color, composition and brushstroke make this work uniquely his own.[1] Vincent van Gogh (1853–1890), Plow and Harrow (after Millet), Saint-Rémy, January 1890, oil on canvas, h 72 x w 92 cm, Van Gogh Museum Vincent van Gogh (1853–1890), Plow and Harrow (after Millet), Saint-Rémy, January 1890, oil on canvas, h 72 x w 92 cm, Van Gogh Museum Artist   Vincent van Gogh (1853–1890) Title   Deutsch: Pflug und Egge (nach Millet) English: Plow and Harrow (after Millet) Object type painting Genre landscape art Date Saint-Rémy, January 1890 Medium oil on canvas Dimensions height: 72 cm (28.3 in); width: 92 cm (36.2 in) Collection   Van Gogh Museum Current location   Amste...
