History of Wheat Field with Cypresses, 1889
This was painted in September 1889, when Van Gogh was in the St-Rémy mental asylum, near Arles, where he was a patient from May 1889 until May 1890. It is one of three almost identical versions of the composition.
Vincent William Van Gogh was a great Dutch post impressionist artist who created many paintings and drawings including some of the world's best known, most popular and most expensive artworks.
One such most expensive artwork is A Wheatfield with Cypresses. When Van Gogh began his art career in 1880, he started at the elementary level by copying the "Cours de dessin," edited by Charles Bargue.
Like most of his paintings Van Gogh created 'A Wheatfield with Cypresses' in a series. The entire series depicted the artist's feelings and observations from his bedroom window, when he was spending life in a mental asylum at St. Remy in May 1889.
