In this painting, the artist depicts a Provençal landscape dominated by cypresses, golden wheat, and a dynamic sky in shades of blue and white. The short, directional brushstrokes add movement and depth, reflecting the expressive style that characterized his final artistic period.

| Birth: | 1853, Netherlands. |
| Death: | 1890, France. |
| Style: | Post-Impressionism. |
Vincent van Gogh (1853–1890) was a Dutch painter whose work marked a turning point in the history of modern art. His life, as passionate as it was tragic, reflects the constant struggle between creative genius and emotional fragility. Self-taught and deeply sensitive, Van Gogh explored painting as a language of the soul, using color and texture as a vehicle for inner expression. In just a decade of artistic production, he created more than 900 paintings and 1,100 drawings, leaving a legacy that forever transformed the perception of art. His nervous brushstroke, vibrant palette, and unique conception of light anticipated Expressionism and redefined the way we see the world.
