Wheatfield with Crows

Painted in July 1890 in Auvers-sur-Oise and long considered, probably incorrectly, as Vincent van Gogh's final work, 'Wheatfield with Crows' stretches its golden, ripening grain across an unusually wide canvas beneath a stormy deep-blue sky in which a flock of black crows breaks diagonally into flight. A red path forks into three, uncertain where to lead. While recent scholarship has demoted it from its status as literally the last painting, its charged combination of solitude, anxiety, and foreboding has fixed it in the public imagination as the coda of Van Gogh's life — and it remains one of the greatest works of the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam.
