"Wheat Field with Rising Sun" by Van Gogh


I love Van Gogh. Who doesn't love Van Gogh? Crazy people, that's who. This is one of his many field paintings, and this stood out for me because the sunset-scheme is different from the rest. The yellow of the setting sun is reflected in the wheat, as is the purple color of the mountains. And because of his characteristic unevenness and strange perspective, the landscape has a wild quality you wouldn't usually find in such a pastoral scene or regular landscape.
