Description of the Painting
The Sower is a striking painting with bright, unnatural colors and an unusual composition. The sower is depicted in front of a setting sun, casting long shadows on the plowed field. Van Gogh used bold brushstrokes to create texture and depth in the painting. The use of color and light creates a sense of movement and energy in the scene.
