Oil on Canvas, 1889
Vincent Van Gogh

Wheat Field with Cypresses is a 1889 oil by Vincent van Gogh, as part of his Wheat Field series. He painted three very similar works, all exhibited at the Saint-Paul-de-Mausole mental asylum at Saint-Rémy near Arles, France, where Van Gogh was voluntarily a patient from May 1889 to May 1890. The works were inspired by the view from the window at the asylum towards the Alpilles mountains and depict golden fields of ripe wheat, a dark Provençal cypress towering to the right, green olive trees in the middle distance, with hills and mountains visible behind,
