Head Of A Woman replica in oil on canvas
Van Gogh Studio is located in Amsterdam, near the Van Gogh museum where we can study the original works. Our paintings are all painted in oil on canvas by mainly Dutch artists who have studied Van Gogh's technique, including brushstrokes, color mixing, atmosphere and the rhythm of painting.
Studying The Poor
After he moved in with his parents in
Nuenen, Van Gogh found inspiration and a direction to study. He found that the magazines of Charles Bargue were particularly inspirational to him, which taught him drawing and painting with models. After 1884, he started working with the lower class, such as
weavers and their labours.
This also influenced him to work with
landscapes. By 1885, he made his first major work,
“The Potato Eaters”, which was something that he used dark tones with, both to symbolise the daily toils of the peasants, as well as the influence that he gained from studying the works of Charles Blanc
The Toils Of The Lower Class
To Van Gogh, studying and recreating the daily lives of the poor was something important, and directly in connection with the “Realism movement” of the 1840s done by Jules Breton and others.
The daily struggles that the lower class were going through was something that resonated deeply with Van Gogh, and he was eager to get it on canvas.
To him, these
peasants had a voice of their own on canvas, something of a religious significance; he described them as “voices of the wheat”.
