About Wheat Field with Cypresses
Van Gogh's Wheat Field with Cypresses of 1889 brings a golden field, dark cypresses and a moving sky into a single landscape. The repeated curves make clouds, hills and vegetation feel connected. This is the Metropolitan Museum of Art's painting, one of several versions of the subject.
Look closely
Compare the dark vertical cypresses with the horizontal field and rounded clouds. Look for brushstrokes that suggest the same movement in different parts of the landscape.
