The artwork, titled “Wheat Fields at Auvers Under Clouded Sky,” was created by the esteemed Post-Impressionist artist Vincent van Gogh in 1890 in Auvers-sur-Oise, France. This oil on canvas painting measures 73 by 92 cm and belongs to the landscape genre. It is currently housed at the Carnegie Museum of Art in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA.
The artwork vividly captures the expansive, undulating wheat fields under a subtly clouded blue sky. Employing his characteristic expressive brushstrokes, van Gogh presents a vibrant palette dominated by the greens and yellows of the fields, interspersed with the occasional trail of red poppies. The flowing yet tempestuous sky hints at the impending change in weather, adding a dynamic atmosphere to the otherwise serene and lush rural setting. The contrast between the tranquil land and the animated sky is a testament to van Gogh’s emotional and dynamic approach to portraying the natural world.
