Wheatfield with Crows
The artist
Vincent van Gogh, a Dutch painter famous for his bold colors and swirling brushstrokes.
What you see
A golden wheat field under a deep blue sky, with black crows flying and paths winding through the grain.
The story
Van Gogh painted it in 1890 during his final summer in the French countryside, working outdoors among the fields.
The style
Thick, energetic strokes make the wheat and sky feel like they are moving in a strong summer wind.
Look closer
Three paths lead in different directions and seem to stop, which many people find dramatic and dreamlike.
Where to see it
You can see it at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, which holds many of his greatest works.
Fun fact
It is one of the last paintings Van Gogh ever made, so it feels very special to visitors.
