inspired by Wheat Field with Cypresses by Vincent Van Gogh
Find yourself amongst the flowers in a meadowfull of Impressions. Indulge your senses in an aroma of thyme, delicate rockrose (cistus) and fresh raspberry. Relax with notes of toasted tobacco, fragrant jasmine and sweet honey. Become lost in the sensual perfume of rich wood and soft leather.
1889, oil on canvas
Metropolitan Museum of Art, NYC

A Dutch Post-Impressionist painter. His compositions, full of vivid colors and clear brush strokes, had a huge impact on the artistic style of this period.
