Detail of First Steps After Millet by Van Gogh in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, May 2011
Title: First Steps, after Millet
Artist: Vincent van Gogh (Dutch, Zundert 1853–1890 Auvers-sur-Oise)
Date: 1890
Medium: Oil on canvas
Dimensions: 28 1/2 x 35 7/8 in. (72.4 x 91.1 cm)
Classification: Paintings
Credit Line: Gift of George N. and Helen M. Richard, 1964
Accession Number: 64.165.2
In fall and winter 1889–90, while a voluntary patient at the asylum in Saint-Rémy, Van Gogh painted twenty-one copies after Millet, an artist he greatly admired. He considered his copies "translations" akin to a musician's interpretation of a composer's work. He let the black-and-white images—whether prints, reproductions, or, as here, a photograph that his brother, Theo, had sent—pose "as a subject," then he would "improvise color on it." For this work of January 1890, Van Gogh squared-up a photograph of Millet's First Steps and transferred it to the canvas.
