-The Potato Eaters.



     The Potato Eaters were painted by Van Gogh in 1885.In this painting, Van Gogh used the crude model to show the real civilians, which include the religious and respect to the farmers. The composition of the paiting is five farmers, potatoes, table, light,a clock,a kettel and a old picture.He did not use the lines but the condition to express his comments. He focus on the simple farmers sit around the small table and the crude light in the middle, but not the backgound or the old room. Light also make the farmers more languish and prominent. Low roof make the room more narrow and the dark colours made people feel dull and depressed.

  1. What do you think Van Gogh is saying about the farmers and the poverty that they have to endure? What do you think he was achieve with this painting. He explains his motivations in his letters to his brother Theo.
