About this work

Van Gogh's Wheat Field with Cypresses (1889), painted in southern France, sets ripe wheat, dark cypresses and a wind-blown sky in one field of directional brushwork; colour and thick paint carry the weather.

Points to look for

  • Compare brushstroke directions in wheat, cypresses and sky.
  • Read the wind from the paint rather than the objects.
  • Notice the balance of yellow, green and blue across the canvas.

Questions
