The artwork, titled “Wheat Field with Cypresses at the Haude Galline near Eygalieres,” was created by Vincent van Gogh in 1889 during his time in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, France. Executed using oil on canvas, this piece belongs to the Post-Impressionism movement. It is a landscape genre painting measuring 73 x 93.4 cm and is currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art (Met) in New York City, NY, USA.
The artwork depicts a vibrant wheat field characterized by Van Gogh’s distinctive swirling brushstrokes, which lend movement and emotion to the scene. In the foreground, the golden wheat is lush and textured, leading the eye towards a prominent cypress tree on the right side, standing tall against rolling hills in various shades of green. Above, the sky is a dynamic array of blues and whites, with swirling patterns that suggest a breezy, dynamic atmosphere. The overall composition conveys a sense of both tranquility and the intense energy of the natural world, encapsulating Van Gogh’s unique style and emotional depth.
