Landscapes

Twenty-five landscapes tracing Van Gogh's restless journey from the flat grey fields of Holland through the sun-drenched wheat fields of Provence to the tortured cypresses of Saint-Rémy. These are the paintings that changed how we see the natural world. Van Gogh's cypresses writhe like green flames against cobalt skies; his wheat fields ripple with visible energy; his starry nights spiral with a cosmic dynamism that anticipates Abstract Expressionism by half a century. The progression tells its own story — from the careful, muted Dutch landscapes to the increasingly bold color and swirling brushwork of the south, where the Mistral wind and the Mediterranean light seemed to accelerate both his art and his unraveling mind. The Wheatfield with Crows, painted days before his death, is one of the most emotionally devastating landscapes ever painted.
