About this painting

The story of Wheatfield with Crows

A field of ripe wheat under a sky that is almost black at the top, three dirt paths that lead nowhere in particular, and a scatter of crows lifting off toward you. Van Gogh painted it in July 1890 at Auvers-sur-Oise, in the last weeks of his life, and it is often called his final painting, although it probably was not. It hangs in the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam. Stand in front of it and the paint is thick enough to cast shadows; the wheat is laid on in short yellow slashes and the sky in long, worried strokes of two different blues.

This is a painting for a wide wall. The palette is mustard and gold against cobalt and near-navy, with green and rust in the paths, so it warms a room while keeping some weight. It suits a living room, a dining room, a home office, or a long hallway, and it works with farmhouse, rustic-modern, and mid-century interiors where ochre and blue already live. Because the format is more than twice as wide as it is tall, it wants width more than height: the Large at 50.1 × 24 in is the size that lets you feel the field, and the Medium at 33.4 × 16 in fits comfortably over a sofa or a long console.

From the same summer, Wheat Field with Cypresses is the calmer daylight version of this landscape, and Wheat Field with a Lark is the same field three years earlier. The Starry Night shares the sky. More from Vincent van Gogh.

We print from a public-domain photograph of the Van Gogh Museum canvas, in our own studio, keeping the impasto texture visible rather than flattening it.

About the artist

Vincent van Gogh

Vincent Willem van Gogh was a Dutch Post-Impressionist painter who is among the most famous and influential figures in the history of Western art. In just over a decade he created about 2,100 artworks, including around 860 oil paintings, most of them in the last two years of his life. They include landscapes, still lifes, portraits and self-portraits, and are characterised by bold colours and dramatic, impulsive and expressive brushwork that contributed to the foundations of modern art. His suicide at 37 followed years of mental illness and poverty.

Frequently asked

Wheatfield with Crows— questions & answers

›What does Wheatfield with Crows mean?

Painted in July 1890 at Auvers-sur-Oise during the last weeks of Van Gogh's life, it shows crows scattering beneath a turbulent, storm-dark sky over a windswept field of golden wheat, with a path running to a dead end. Van Gogh wrote that his wheatfields under troubled skies expressed his "sadness and extreme loneliness," while also capturing how "healthy and invigorating" he found the countryside.

›Was Wheatfield with Crows Van Gogh's last painting?

It is often thought to be his last work — an idea popularised by the 1956 film Lust for Life — but the Van Gogh Museum notes this is a myth. His actual final painting was Tree Roots.

›Where is Wheatfield with Crows now?

The original is held at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam.
