The artwork titled “Green Ears of Wheat,” created by Vincent van Gogh in 1888 in Arles, Bouches-du-Rhône, France, is an oil painting on canvas that belongs to the Post-Impressionism art movement. This landscape painting is currently housed in the Israel Museum in Jerusalem, Israel.
In the artwork, Van Gogh employs vigorous, textured brushstrokes to depict a field of wheat interspersed with vibrant red poppies. The dynamic sky overhead contrasts with the calm, horizontal lines delineating the field. The rich, lush greens of the wheat ears capture the viewer’s eye, while the bold reds of the poppies add a striking counterpoint. The overall composition conveys movement and vitality, characteristic of Van Gogh’s emotive and expressive post-impressionistic style.
