Wheat Fields is a series of dozens of paintings by the Dutch Post-Impressionist artist Vincent van Gogh, borne out of his religious studies and sermons, connection to nature, appreciation of manual laborers and desire to provide a means of offering comfort to others. In this 1890 oil-on-canvas landscape painting, entitled Wheatfield Under Thunderclouds or Wheat Fields Under Clouded Sky, Van Gogh depicts the loneliness of the countryside and the degree to which it is "healthy and heartening". The work is in the collection of the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam.Painting credit: Vincent van Gogh
