The Potato Eaters
Original Title: De Aardappeleters Date: 1885 Style: Realism Genre: genre painting Media: oil, canvas Location: Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam, Netherlands Dimensions: 82 x 114 cm For The Potato Eaters, Van Gogh’s first major work, he wanted to depict peasants as they really were. He thus chose coarse and ugly models, so they would look as natural as possible in the final work. He made sketches of the work and sent them to his brother, who helped Van Gogh make adjustment in the composition. As far as two years after Van Gogh completed this painting, he considered it his finest work. This painting has also been a main target for art thieves, who have stolen it not once, but twice times. W przypadku Jedzących ziemniaki, pierwszego ważnego dzieła Van Gogha, chciał on przedstawić chłopów takimi, jacy byli naprawdę. Wybrał więc szorstkie i brzydkie modele, aby w ostatecznym dziele wyglądali jak najbardziej naturalnie. Sporządził szkice dzieła i wysłał je bratu, który pomógł Van Goghowi dokonać poprawek w kompozycji. Dwa lata po ukończeniu tego obrazu Van Gogh uważał go za swoje najlepsze dzieło. Obraz ten był również głównym celem złodziei dzieł sztuki, którzy ukradli go nie raz, ale dwa razy.
