We just learned about Van Gogh's painting of Still Life with Cabbage.
Another famous painting by Van Gogh is called The Potato Eaters made in 1885 in Nuenen, Netherlands.
This painting was part of what people call his "Peasant Character Studies".
During this time Van Gogh made many paintings about people that were poor but worked very hard jobs like farming or sewing.
His painting of the Potato Eaters is of a group of poor people sitting around a small table eating dinner.
He wanted it to look dirty and for the people not to look beautiful because he wanted to show how hard the people worked, and that they weren't rich.
