Amidst the tranquil landscape of rolling hills and quaint houses, the timeless scene of a ploughman at work unfolds. Vincent van Gogh's "Landscape with House and Ploughman" (1889) captures the essence of rural labor, as the plough cuts through the earth, turning it from fallow ground to fertile soil. This tradition dates back to ancient civilizations, as depicted in Homer's "Inspecting the Fields" (1350 BC), and continues through the Industrial Revolution, with images like "A farmer at work, ploughing a field, Germany, 1936," and "Tilling the land," (1775). Mikhail Petrov-Vodkin's "Mikula Selianovich" (1918) and the 1800s sulky plow, showcase the perseverance and collaboration between father and son in the agricultural process. The horse-drawn plough remains a symbol of hard work, connection to the land, and the enduring cycle of nature.
