A wheat field under a dark, stormy blue sky, with black crows flying low over it and three rough paths leading nowhere.
Why it is famous
Van Gogh painted it in July 1890 at Auvers-sur-Oise, a few weeks before his death. It is often called his last painting, but the Van Gogh Museum says that is not the case. He wrote that he had painted vast fields under troubled skies to express sadness and extreme loneliness, but also the healthy, restoring power of the countryside.
