THE POTATO EATERS

Vincent van Gogh • 1885 • Oil on canvas • 82 x 114 cm

The Potato Eaters by Van Gogh

Painted during his Dutch period, this chilling portrait is of five peasants sharing a tiny meal. The tones are dark and earthy, like the soil they worked each day. You can see the toll of a day’s worth of hard labor in their eyes. It's dark, sad, and eternal.

❝ The Potato Eaters is one of my favorite paintings because it's dark, emotional, and genuinely a little scary. ❞
