Green Wheat Field with Cypress
is an oil-on-canvas painting by Dutch
Post-Impressionist
artist
Vincent van Gogh
. It is part of
a series of paintings of wheat fields
that he painted in 1889 while a voluntary patient in the
Saint-Paul asylum
in
Saint-Rémy-de-Provence
, France. Besides a fondness for
cypress
trees, Van Gogh had a special affinity with wheat fields, depicting them dozens of times over the years; to him, they symbolized the cycle of life and death, and he found in them both solace and inspiration. This painting is now in the collection of the
National Gallery Prague
.
