Choose options
Painted in January 1890 during Van Gogh's stay at the Saint-Paul asylum in Saint-Rémy, First Steps, After Millet reimagines Jean-François Millet's tender drawing of a peasant father welcoming his toddler's first wobbling steps. Van Gogh worked from a black-and-white photograph of Millet's work, translating it into his own swirling Post-Impressionist palette of cool greens, soft yellows, and earth-warmed browns. The painting belongs to his Saint-Rémy homage series, a deeply personal tribute to the artist he revered above all others. The work stands as a moving meditation on tenderness, family, and rural life seen through Van Gogh's singular eye.
