The Peasant, Portrait of Patience Escalier - Vincent van Gogh - Canvas Wall Art
About This Piece
Nothing softens an entryway like a painted surface. The Peasant, Portrait of Patience Escalier by Vincent van Gogh arrives as a hand painted oil painting on canvas, offering the figurative detail, soft gradients, and tactile finish that portrait oil painting shoppers look for.
Composition & Subject
1888
Oil on canvas
69 x 56 cm
Private collection.
Sunburnt and weather-beaten, the Provencal peasant Patience Escalier gazes out of Van Gogh's picture with blazing intensity. Dazzling yellow, vivid blue, green, and red make this portrait, painted in August 1888, perhaps the artist's most daring coloristic experiment to date. "Instead of trying to reproduce exactly what I have before my eyes," he wrote to his brother, Theo, "I use color more arbitrarily, in order to express myself with force." He called the picture "a sort of ‘man with a hoe,'" referring to a celebrated work by the previous generation's great painter of peasants, Jean-Francois Millet: Man with a Hoe, today in the J. Paul Getty Museum.
Our artists reproduce this figurative composition in oil on canvas by hand, preserving the tonal range that makes portrait oil painting so sought after for an entryway.
