by Vincent van Gogh, 1889
Dutch artist Vincent van Gogh painted this iconic landscape in June 1889 during his stay at the Saint-Rémy asylum. A tall dark cypress rises like a flame against a turbulent sky filled with swirling clouds. The painting now hangs at the National Gallery in London.
Van Gogh was captivated by cypress trees, describing them as "beautiful as regards lines and proportions, like an Egyptian obelisk." He made several versions of this composition, considering it one of his best summer landscapes. The golden wheat field, the dark vertical cypress, and the dynamic sky create a powerful visual rhythm. The thick impasto and expressive brushwork demonstrate Van Gogh's ability to transform observed nature into emotional experience.
