Van Gogh's 'Wheatfield, with Cypresses'
Feel the mistral of Southern France in Van Gogh's rhythmic brushstrokes
Join Christina Bradstreet from our Learning team for a slow look at Van Gogh's Wheatfield, with Cypresses.
We recommend finding a quiet spot and watching on 'full screen' to get the most out of the experience:

Van Gogh found solace in nature, and saw art and nature as interconnected. He completed this painting whilst he was a patient in the psychiatric hospital of Saint-Paul de Mausole, in the South of France.
