The Potato Eaters of the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam

The Potato Eaters was drawn by the genius in the latter half of the nineteenth century. The aim of Van Gogh in this painting was to portray agricultural laborers in a realistic manner. The painting portrays some stolid farmers consuming potatoes around a table which is dimly illuminated by a quaint sort of lighting device. The expressions on the faces of the farmers clearly reflect that they are used to a life of hardship, full of struggles and trials. The hands with which they continuously till the soils for growing the tubers are the same hands with which they consume the results of their devoted labor. There is an element of pride too in the countenance of the folks that discerning art experts will be able to make out from the painting.

The Sunflower of the Van Gogh Repository in Amsterdam

The picture depicting the Sunflower is spectacular to behold. The painting embodies the sheer genius of the artist who captured one of the commonplace yet lovely creations of Nature in a most unique manner. The Sunflower highlights the entire lifecycle of the flower with several stems bearing only sunflower buds and others bearing blooming sunflowers in all their magnificence. How something, so timeworn and, which we probably see on the roadsides and promenades, can be epitomized on a canvas in all its intricate details that depict the sepals, the petals, the stamens and even the pistils, is a complete wonder to mankind.
