1888 Kröller-Müller Museum
About this artwork
The painting depicts two monumental haystacks in a vibrant, sun-drenched field in the Provencal countryside. Van Gogh used thick, expressive brushstrokes to render the golden hues of the harvested wheat and the dynamic quality of the landscape.
Did you know?
Van Gogh was deeply inspired by the agricultural landscapes around Arles during his time in Provence, where he often depicted scenes of rural life and harvest. The haystacks, a common sight in the region, allowed him to experiment with the intense yellows and blues that became hallmarks of his style. This painting reflects his profound connection to nature and his innovative approach to capturing light and movement in the Provencal countryside.
