Blommers and van Gogh were on good terms when Vincent lived in The Hague, the capital of Dutch art. Painters of scenes from everyday life - whether French or Dutch - provided van Gogh with the example he needed to become a painter of peasants, in works such as the The Potato Eaters (1885, Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam), his powerful image of a peasant family at supper.
