1887, Camille Pissarro, Haymaking, Eragny -- Van Gogh Museum (Amsterdam)

From the museum label: Everything in this landscape is dynamic and colourful, from the haystacks and peasants to the summery sky. The hay in the foreground alone is built up of a multitude of vivid tints of red, orange, pink, purple, and green. This forms a handsome contrast with the field beyond. Pissarro portrayed the traditional subject of haymaking in a modern manner. This inspired Van Gogh, who only a short while before had wanted to become a 'peasant painter.'
