Wheatfield with Crows - Vincent Van Gogh

Here Vincent Van Gogh attaches importance to perspective, giving great depth to his painting: the horizon stands out against the wheat fields of Auvers-sur-Oise, while the procession of crows invites one to explore what the artist does not show, namely the deep darkness of the sky outside the painting. Art historians see this as a representation of the artist's preoccupied state of mind: a dark, ominous sky, three paths going in different directions, and black crows, a sign of an impending end. This is one of the artist's last works.
