Painting / Art Print

In 1888 Vincent Van Gogh painted a series of pictures of a lonely figure moving across a plowed field, a favorite subject of the artist. However, the real protagonist of the paintings, which later became aptly known as The Sower, 1889, is the sun in the horizon, a huge, godlike, bright disk flooding the sky with light. The effect is so strong that colors are inverted and stark complementary colors appear: the sky is painted with yellow and the land with violet.
