In Auvers, Vincent van Gogh painted a large number of landscapes with wheatfields, all on unusual, elongated canvases (50 x 100 cm). He wrote to his brother Theo about two of these works ¡°They depict vast, distended wheatfields under angry skies, and I deliberately tried to express sadness and extreme loneliness in them.¡± But these pictures also had a positive side ¡°I am almost certain that these canvases illustrate what I cannot express in words, that is, how healthy and reassuring I find the countryside.¡± Title Wheatfield under Thunderclouds Creator Vincent van Gogh Creator Lifespan 30 March 1853 - 29 July 1890 Creator Nationality Dutch Creator Gender Male Creator Death Place Auvers-sur-Oise Creator Birth Place Zundert Date Created July 1890 - 1890 Location Created Auvers, France Place Part Of France Type Landscape Rights Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam (Vincent van Gogh Foundation), Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam (Vincent van Gogh Foundation)
