A Wheatfield with Cypresses is any of three similar 1889 oil paintings by Vincent van Gogh, as part of his wheat field series. All were exhibited at the Saint-Paul-de-Mausole mental asylum at Saint-Rémy near Arles, France, where Van Gogh was voluntarily a patient from May 1889 to May 1890.
The wheat field with cypresses paintings were made when van Gogh was able to leave the asylum. Van Gogh had a fondness for cypresses and wheat fields of which he wrote: "Only I have no news to tell you, for the days are all the same, I have no ideas, except to think that a field of wheat or a cypress well worth the trouble of looking at closeup."
[2] [4] Van Gogh could also see an enclosed wheat field, subject of many paintings at Saint-Rémy. [5] As he ventured outside the asylum walls he painted the wheat fields, olive groves and cypress trees of the surrounding countryside, [4] which he saw as "characteristic of Provence". Over the course of the year, he painted about 150 canvases.
