Wheat Field with Crows /

Other


Wheatfield with Crows is a July 1890 painting by Vincent van Gogh. It is commonly but mistakenly stated that this was Van Gogh's last painting. Art historians are uncertain as to which painting was van Gogh's last as no clear historical records exist. A usual interpretation of this painting is that it shows Van Gogh's troubled state of mind with a dark, forbidding sky, the indecision of three paths going in different directions and the black crows overhead being signs of foreboding or even death. He wrote that he had made three paintings in Auvers of large fields of wheat under troubled skies. The painting is held in the collection of the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam. It was a central focus of an episode of the series Simon Schama's Power of Art, and the inspiration for the fifth segment of Akira Kurosawa's film Dreams. The painting is invoked in a scene in the 1990 film Vincent & Theo, when Vincent, played by Tim Roth, shoots himself.
