First Steps, after Millet - Vincent Van Gogh
Excellent
L'œuvre en bref
Vincent Van Gogh's First Steps, after Millet is a gentle, touching genre scene, evoking a child's first independent movements. Van Gogh, detached from reality, uses expressive colours to convey emotions, a characteristic of Post-Impressionism.
In this bucolic composition, a father stretches out his arms towards his child, who is taking his first steps. The warm tones of their clothes contrast with the rich green of the surrounding countryside. In the distance, a peaceful house stands under a golden sky. Van Gogh uses energetic brushstrokes to give movement to the scene, underlining the excitement and anticipation of this crucial moment. In this way, First Steps symbolises the innocence and wonder of discovering life.
