Wheat Fields with Cypresses by Vincent van Gogh

It’s difficult to choose a single landscape from Vincent van Gogh’s collection. He is known for his post-impressionistic depictions of nature. Wheat Fields with Cypresses was his first landscape painted in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, where he stayed during treatment for his mental health. He became obsessed with the cypress trees, and the overall provencal landscape.

He wrote in a letter: "The cypresses always preoccupy me, I would like to make something of them like the canvases of sunflowers, because it surprises me that they have not yet been made as I see them. They are beautiful, in terms of lines and proportions, like an Egyptian obelisk. And the green is of such a distinguished quality."
