Wheatfield

Wheatfield, painted in 1888 during Van Gogh’s highly productive period in Arles, captures the golden beauty and quiet strength of the Provençal countryside. The canvas depicts a vast field of ripening wheat under a wide, radiant sky, rendered with bold, expressive brushstrokes and a warm, sun-drenched palette.

For Van Gogh, wheat fields symbolized the cycles of life, labor, and renewal. In this painting, the rhythmic movement of the stalks and the glowing horizon evoke both peace and vitality. Wheatfield is a vivid tribute to the land and a reflection of the artist’s deep emotional and spiritual connection to nature.
