Wheatfield with Crows, 1890

Your taste…

Under a stormy blue-black sky, crows scatter over a windswept wheatfield at Auvers-sur-Oise, and a red path edged in green runs into the field. Van Gogh painted it on an elongated double-square canvas around 10 July 1890, weeks before his death, and wrote of expressing sadness and extreme loneliness. It is often called his last painting, but it was not.

Look closer

The central path leads nowhere, and the crows' direction of flight is left unclear. In the same letter, Van Gogh also called these fields healthy and fortifying.
