Farmhouse in Nuenen

Vincent van Gogh painted ‘Farmhouse in Nuenen’ in 1885 during his stay in Nuenen, Netherlands. This period marked a significant phase in his career, characterized by a focus on rural life and the working class. The painting depicts a modest thatched farmhouse surrounded by trees and garden plants. It reflects Van Gogh’s interest in capturing the simple, everyday lives of peasants, and utilizes a darker, muted palette that was typical of his early works. The painting also illustrates the influence of the Dutch masters, whom Van Gogh admired greatly.
