The yellow Millstones - Paul Gauguin
Excellent
L'œuvre en bref
Paul Gauguin's post-Impressionist painting The yellow Millstones offers a glimpse of rural, rustic life. Gauguin boldly and vigorously paints a rural landscape with golden haystacks towering against the twilight sky. The warm tones of the foreground contrast with the cooler colours of the background, creating an atmosphere that is both soothing and nostalgic.
By combining landscape and genre scenes, the painting highlights manual labour and farming traditions. The painter did not seek photographic accuracy, but interpreted nature through his own personal prism, characteristic of synthesism. By flattering space and simplifying forms, Gauguin highlighted the raw, earthy charm of country life, far removed from the tumult of modernity.
