Farmhouse in a wheatfield
Vincent van GoghMay 1888 - 1888
Van Gogh Museum
Amsterdam, Netherlands
As soon as Van Gogh arrived in the southern city of Arles from Paris, he was inspired by the vast landscape. He painted this simple farmhouse in a cornfield there and then, partly in thick brushstrokes and partly using little stipples: techniques he had learned in Paris. Van Gogh made a sketch of this landscape in a letter to his brother Theo, dated 12 May 1888.
