About the original work
Wheatfield with Crows is one of Van Gogh’s most famous paintings. It is often claimed that this would be the very last work of the artist. The menacing sky with crows and the dead end would point ahead to his approaching end of life. However, this is a persistent myth. After this painting he made several other works.
With his cornfields under wild skies, Van Gogh wanted to express ‘sadness, extreme loneliness’, but at the same time he also wanted to show ‘how healthy and heart-strengthening I find the countryside.’
Van Gogh used strong color combinations for this painting. The blue sky contrasts with the yellow-orange corn, while the red of the path is enhanced by green strips of grass.
