Wheat field with Crows

One of the last paintings by Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890). Painted during the period when he was living in Auvers-sur-Oise, France. An oil painting from a series of landscapes on an unusual canvas format 100 x 50 cm.

Almond Blossom

Van Gogh painted this sparkling still life of delicate almond blossom against a bright blue sky for his newborn nephew Vincent Willem. As a symbol of young life, Van Gogh chose the branches of the almond tree, an early flowering tree that heralds the spring as early as February. The subject, as well as the sharp contours and placement of the tree, was inspired by Japanese prints.

About the painter

Van Gogh was born in the Netherlands and would later 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.
