Landscape at Saint-Rémy, 1889
Vincent van Gogh
Dutch, 1853-1890
Oil on canvas
Indianapolis Museum of Art
This canvas was painted in the Provencal town of Saint-Rémy, as van Gogh recuperated from a nervous breakdown suffered on Christmas Eve, 1888, during Gauguin's fateful visit. It is one of four views of a walled wheat field executed in the autumn of 1889. Symbols of the artist's pantheistic beliefs, the plowed terrain and rugged mountain peaks pulsate with a fertile inner life, charged by the picture's dynamic brushwork, rich surface texture and varied colors.
