Wheat Field with Cypresses
A Wheatfield with Cypresses is any of three similar 1889 oil paintings by Vincent van Gogh, as part of his wheat field series. All were exhibited at the Saint-Paul-de-Mausole mental asylum at Saint-Rémy near Arles, France, where Van Gogh was voluntarily a patient from May 1889 to May 1890. The works were inspired by the view from the window at the asylum toward the Alpilles mountains.

Description of Wheat Field with Cypresses
Van Gogh’s Wheat Field with Cypresses presents a vista hazy, rendered in strokes thick with emotion. Under a sky heavy and low, the wheat rolls like a saffron sea. Dark flames of cypress trees pierce the horizon, shadowy spires guarding golden depths placid but foreboding.
A dirt road cuts the scene forlorn, a river without a destination or source. The sun dims as through veils of gauze, warming a world wrapped in silence profound. No birds take wing in this place and time adrift, as in a dream where all familiar wander strange to senses dulled.
Van Gogh’s chromatic vision embraces a beauty desolate, landscapes inner etched on fields lonelier than ruins. His gilt Sahara gleams bejeweled but barren, a warning to pilgrims in realms of the spirit laid waste. The cypresses anchor his world awash in seas primordial and pathless, guiding the wandering gaze back once more to shores forsaken yet familiar as halves cloven, selves torn and tattered.
Wheat Field stands eternal, evocation pure of life adrift and purpose obscured. Its surfaces stir sensing depths unplumbed, horizons at once beckoning and barring the way—a sun dimmed leaving all in shadow and doubt.
Van Gogh melds memory and premonition in hues brilliant yet mournful. His painting thrums with forces elemental, rumors of distant thunder at play over furrows asleep and shorn still of their gold. An uneasy peace pervades this dreamscape ripe with sign and query entwined—its beauty wounded and wanting, aching for journeys impelled toward terrors or thresholds unknown and unmade.
We wander here at twilight perpetual, sharing his world suspended—at once Edenic and inhospitable—its secrets turning on the brooding sky’s revolution dark or light; wrestling still in silent furrows where only the watchful cypress stands in sentry.
