In the last weeks of his life he completed van Gogh many charming paintings of wheat fields near Auvers. This large field with a dark sky above him is one of them. In these krajinkách he tried to express sadness and incredible loneliness he felt. But not all the overwhelming emotions that van Gogh experienced surrounded by nature, were negative. His brother Theo wrote: Almost I would have believed that these canvases will tell you what I can not say words, what I consider to be healthy and invigorating the country. Extraordinarily wide format of this work is highly unusual. It expresses the grandeur of the landscape, like a simple composition .

Vincent Willem van Gogh (1853-1890). Dutch painter belonging to Post-Impressionism. His paintings (some 900 paintings and 1,100 drawings and sketches) are among the most famous in the world and are sold for exorbitant sums (except for those in our shop). Parisian Impressionists He lived in Paris from 1886 and was influenced by the use of bright colours - most of his works were painted during this period. In his paintings, Gogh uses contrasting colours (often blue and orange - he said that I want to use colours other contrasts to each of them shone even more to contrast a man and a woman). He was known for his excesses and amputated an ear after the break-up of his friendship with Gauguin. There is a lot of speculation about this incident (he possibly suffered from heavy metal poisoning from paint that had caused mental problems). In 1890, unfortunately he committed suicide.
