Van Gogh’s Wheatfields

While Monet is known for his series paintings including his Water Lilies and Haystacks series, Van Gogh was not really known for a painting series although he created 30 paintings containing wheat fields.   Many of Van Gogh’s wheat field paintings were created during 1889 in Saint-Remy de Provence where Van Gogh was staying in the Saint Paul Hospital.  From his room in the asylum there, Van Gogh captured the view of wheat fields in the sun, in the rain and under swirling clouds.  Van Gogh constantly reinvented the French summer landscape capturing light on the stalks of wheat in different ways.  Below are some of Van Gogh’s Wheat Fields.
