Executed in late 1882 during Van Gogh’s formative period in The Hague, Four Men Cutting Wood (Houtzagers) showcases the artist’s deep fascination with the everyday toil of working-class laborers. Heavily influenced by British social realist magazine illustrators and French master Jean-François Millet, Van Gogh meticulously analyzed the dynamic physical postures and rhythmic movements of four woodcutters at work. This monumental study highlights his developing command of anatomical structure, linear rhythm, and emotive contour lines long before his colorful Post-Impressionist era.
