Gardener with a Wheelbarrow

"Gardener with a Wheelbarrow" exemplifies van Gogh's mastery in capturing everyday life with emotional intensity. Though he only began painting in his late twenties, his prolific output—over 2,000 artworks—includes many sketch and study works that reveal his process and evolving style. While his work was not widely appreciated during his lifetime, van Gogh’s focus on Realism passed through his unique, expressive brushwork, contributing to his legacy as one of modern art's pioneers. Though he sold only one painting, his fame grew posthumously, and today, he is celebrated for his profound influence and innovative approach.
