The
Wheat Fields is a series of dozens of paintings by
Vincent van Gogh, borne out of his religious studies and sermons, connection to nature, appreciation of manual laborers and desire to provide a means of offering comfort to others. The wheat field works demonstrate his progression as an artist from the drab
Wheat Sheaves made in 1885 in the
Netherlands to the colorful, dramatic paintings from
Arles,
Saint-Rémy and
Auvers-sur-Oise of rural
France.
