Van Gogh-Wheat Field with Cypresses St Rémy

One of three similar 1889 oil paintings by Vincent van Gogh, as part of his wheat field series. All were

executed at the Saint-Paul-de-Mausole mental asylum at Saint-Rémy near Arles, where Van Gogh was

voluntarily a patient from May 1889 to May 1890. The works were inspired by the view from the

window at the asylum towards the Alpilles mountains.
