'Wheatfield under thunderclouds'

Two of the last paintings by Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890), painted during the period in which he lived in Auvers-sur-Oise, France. An oil painting of a series of landscapes on an exceptional canvas size of 100 x 50 cm. In a letter to his brother Theo, he wrote that he wanted to express sorrow and loneliness in these paintings, but at the same time he wanted to show how 'healthy and heartening' the countryside was for him. The painting is on display at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam.

About the painter

Van Gogh was born in the Netherlands and later went to live in Paris and other places in France. He did not have such a happy life and people in his lifetime disliked his beautiful paintings. In all his life, he managed to sell only one of his paintings. He earned no money and remained forever dependent on his parents and brother Theo. In 1888, Vincent van Gogh cut off part of his left ear. He takes to drink and is eventually admitted to a psychiatric hospital. In 1890, he decided - on advice of his doctor - to concentrate on painting and he made his final series: Twelve elongated paintings of landscapes, including "Wheat field under thunderclouds ' and ' Tree roots'. On July 27, 1890 Vincent walked into a wheat field and shot himself in the chest. He left behind a large number of artworks: more than 850 paintings and nearly 1,300 works on paper.
