COLOR PALETTES FOR “THE PEASANTS”

“The Peasants” is an animated feature film created using oil painting techniques. The movie is divided into four seasons, each incorporating visual references to 19th-century paintings.

For this project, I developed four distinct color palettes—one for each season—drawing inspiration from the paintings used as artistic references for the film. Below, you can find all four palettes, including both color swatches and corresponding painting references.

Additionally, I conducted extensive research on historical artworks, identifying numerous painting inspirations, many of which were directly used as references for the film’s backgrounds.

IMDb storyline description: “The Peasants tells the story of Jagna, a young woman determined to forge her own path within the confines of a late 19th century Polish village - a hotbed of gossip and on-going feuds, held together, rich and poor, by pride in their land, adherence to colorful traditions and deep-rooted patriarchy. When Jagna finds herself caught between the conflicting desires of the village's richest farmer, his eldest son, and other leading men of the community, her resistance puts her on a tragic collision course with the community around her.”
