Wheat Field with Crows ☵ Van Gogh ☳ Art Print Paper Finish:Smooth MatteWheat Field with Crows (1890) by Vincent van Gogh, considered one of his greatest works, is one of several double square canvases he used exclusively in the last few weeks of his life. It depicts crows in a cloudy sky over a wheat field. A path diverges in two directions, a motif also used in The Church at Auvers. This painting is commonly mistaken to be his last, an idea popularized by Vincente Minnellis 1956 biopic Lust for Life starring Kirk
It depicts Christ's disciples struggling against a heavy storm as a huge wave tosses the boat and rips the sail
against a background of trees and a dense weeping willow overhead
