Unlock ‘The Cows’ & know Van Gogh’s heart
I say, unlock the meaning behind “The Cows” (Painting) and you will unlock access to the most raw and deepest part of Van Gogh’s heart and soul! And you unlock the why behind the very source and power that helped him craft his remarkable paintings.
And most importantly, you can unlock his great hope that enabled him to endure despite all his pain and trials, to the end. If you do this, you are on a journey to unplug the wells.
Let me explain. Most art historians will tell you ‘The Cows’ painting is Van Gogh’s cheerful rendition of a study of cows by Jacob Jordaen (1624). By comparison it does have distinctly bright colours which is typical of Van Gogh, so what is the deal?
