Oil on canvas

Wheatfield with Crows is one of Vincent van Gogh’s most powerful works, painted in July 1890 during the final weeks of his life in Auvers-sur-Oise. The dramatic sky, the path leading nowhere, and the restless crows create an atmosphere of intense emotional turbulence, long interpreted as a reflection of the artist’s troubled state of mind.
