The Potato Eaters
by Vincent van Gogh

The Potato Eaters

Oil on canvas, 1885

There are many versions of The Potato Eaters by Vincent Van Gogh.

Much of the work that van Gogh did in Holland before going to Paris was dark and heavy, expressing his feelings for the poor and underprivileged miners and agricultural workers. It also expressed his deep religious compassion for them and the idea that their toil was not in vain.

As he wrote to his brother Theo, he wanted to convey ‘the idea that these people in the lamplight… have worked the earth and my painting gives dignity to manual work and the food they have themselves earned through honest toil’.
