En el verano de 1884 Vincent conoció al señor Hermans. Quería decorar los muros de su comedor con la Santa Cena, sin embargo, el artista opinó que el apetito de aquellos que se sentaran a su mesa se estimularía más con escenas de la vida rural del Brabante Septentrional.
Cuando Hermans visitó el estudio de Vincent observó seis bocetos: sembrador, arador, cosecha de trigo, recolectores de patatas, escena invernal y un pastor. Por su parte, la serie dedicada a Los comedores de patatas, realizada en Nuenen en la primavera de 1885, es uno de los conjuntos más relevantes de la primera etapa de Vincent van Gogh. El artista dedicó un gran empeño en representar la vida de los campesinos de la zona […] de forma realista y sin concesiones el mundo de los trabajadores, explica Paloma Alarcó.
Sobre su obra en este momento, el pintor comentó: Ahora estoy trabajando en ellos. Con la condición de pintar los seis lienzos, considerando su comedor; él pagaría los gastos de los modelos y pintura, mientras que los lienzos serían de mi propiedad luego que los devolviera después de copiarlos. Por esos días le escribió a Theo, su hermano: Si tengo suerte con el pastor, se convertirá en una figura con algo del Brabante viejo. Pasarían casi cien años antes de que el óleo regresara a la zona en la que fue creado. Reinauguró el Museo Nordbrabants en Bolduque, ciudad en los Países Bajos, donde nació el célebre Hieronymus Bosch, el Bosco.
El pastor con efecto de tormenta, como se refiere a este lienzo, fue terminado en septiembre. Ese mes le escribió a Van Rappard: Gocé mucho trabajando en los seis lienzos que te comenté, y ahora que los bocetos están finalizados, los seis se encuentran ya en la casa de mi amante del arte.
La tormenta se ha disipado con el rebaño alrededor de sí, el hombre se apoya en su vara de mando para indicar a los animales que la marcha continúa. La gama oscura de su etapa neerlandesa abraza la fe protestante. Tal como su padre, Theodorus van Gogh, este pastor mira a la oveja descarriada.

Giclée Quality Guarantee:
Giclée printing is meant to produce a product at a higher quality and longer lifespan than a standard desktop inkjet printer. The word was used to describe digital reproductions of conventional artworks (painting or drawing) or photographs.
There are at least three basic criteria which must be met in order for the print to be considered a true giclée...
- For giclée printing, the paper or substrate used to actually print the final piece must be acid free and consist of a 100% cotton base.
- Any image that is to be printed as a giclée needs to be created at a resolution of no less than 300 dots per inch (DPI). This is to ensure that the final print has the sharpest detail and lacks any of the fragmentation that can occur with images less than 300 DPI.
- The last step to creating or confirming a true giclée print is the type of ink and printer used. The biggest contrast between a standard inkjet print and a giclée print is that giclées are printed using pigment-based inks rather than the dye-based inks found in lower cost inkjets. Pigment-based inks have a longer life span that can last anywhere from 100 to 200 years without significant fading.
The Quality :
The quality of the giclée print rivals traditional silver halide and gelatin printing processes and is commonly found in museums, art galleries, and photographic galleries.
With Giclée printing technology, we are able to provide the best possible quality for the reproduction of fine art masterpieces as well as your personal photos. Our prints capture the subtlest of colors and contrasts, while retaining superb image sharpness.
