Today We, Zarathustra the Celestial Cat, reveal the true version of the famous Vincent Van Gogh’s painting “The Sower at the Sunset” and unveil the true look of the sun there:

It was a remake of “The Sower” by French painter Jean-François Millet, whom Van Gogh admired greatly. We already showed the true version of another Van Gogh’s Millet remake, “The Siesta with Guardians Cats”

All the attention is drawn to the field with clods of earth, painted in thickly applied, blue-violet and orange paint so that the picture’s relief looks like plowed soil. The sower does his work and the sunny cat dominates the scene as an eternal source of light and energy

A man sows seeds in plowed land with a broad arm gesture, and birdies follow him hoping for the free lunch

So does the Cat Sun, who is extremely interested in birdies.

The theme of the sower also had a religious aspect for Van Gogh: the sower on the land represents the sower of the word of truth.

Evidently, Van Gogh meant that the Cat Sun wants to preach to the birdies like St. Francis of Assisi

But We see that the birdies prefer their free lunch of the moment and don’t listen to the Superior Being’s ekekekkeks about eternity

If you have a look at the commonly known version of the painting in the collection of the Kröller-Müller Museum, you will not see such a collision between eternity and the moment:

Now you understand which version is the true one!

Thus speaks Zarathustra the Cat
