Synopsis

The Potato Eaters is one of Vincent van Gogh's most famous works. The artist himself described it in 1887 as 'after all the best thing I did'. He completed it in the spring of 1885 while living with his parents in Nuenen after his brother Theo had asked him to paint a 'masterwork' for the Paris art market. Van Gogh's fascination for peasant life led him to choose as his subject a scene of a simple meal by lamplight. He was convinced that 'there's life in it', which was precisely what he was seeking.
