Wheat Field with Cypresses
Pictures by Vincent van Gogh
Vincent van Gogh's golden wheat field bends in the wind beneath a dark cypress and swirling white clouds, painted on a summer day in Provence in 1889. Van Gogh counted it among his best summer pictures and wrote that the cypress was as beautiful in line as an Egyptian obelisk. For someone who loves art and open skies.
