Vincent Van Gogh The Harvest
1888 Fine Art Painting
Vincent van Gogh painted dozens of Wheat Fields (series of paintings), born out of his religious studies and sermons, connection to nature, appreciation of manual laborers and desire to provide a means of offering comfort to others. The wheat field works demonstrate his progression as an artist from the drab Wheat Sheaves made in 1885 in the Netherlands to the colorful, dramatic paintings from Arles, Saint-Remy and Auvers-sur-Oise of rural France.
