Inpresionizm portrays the grim reality of rural life in the 19th century. Death, disease, and amputation were common occurrences. The smell of blood and manure filled the air as farmers toiled in the muddy fields, surrounded by cows and hay. The harsh conditions led to illness and injury, with some losing limbs due to accidents. The dirt and filth of the barns were a stark contrast to the idealized images of countryside living. #impressionism #rurallife #death #disease #amputation #farmers #cows #blood #manure #illness #injury #barns #filth
