# The Potato Eaters is completed in 1885 as a public peasant-meal canvas

Date: 1885

## The fact

In 1885 The Potato Eaters was completed as a public peasant-meal canvas. The instrument is that picture, not a later ticketed room. Vincent van Gogh's documented role is: He painted the 1885 canvas. Peasant sitters and Theo as correspondent share the file. Later museum lighting is not 1885.

## Context

Theo is the named first public for the canvas in letters. Sharing that brother-dealer channel is required. The setting of The Potato Eaters is completed in 1885 as a public peasant-meal canvas is the public file around 1885-04-01. Shared offices, unnamed crews, printers, or later editors may appear without becoming this instrument. Driver [income-inequality](/drivers/income-inequality) is attached because the significance names a mechanism from this act, not because a standing list needed coverage.

Later competitions, monuments, translations, UNESCO listings, museums, and adaptations are not converted into extra lifetime acts.
