Vincent Van Gogh regarded this magnificent view as one of his most exceptional creations. The painting is imbued with the vibrant hues of the southern French landscape during the summer: the rich, golden-yellow of the wheat fields and the brilliant emerald green of the radiant sunlight. Depicting the expanse of the La Crau plain near Arles, the distant silhouette of the Alpilles mountain range adds depth to the composition. In the foreground, Van Gogh employed diverse brushstrokes, while in the background, he utilized more consistent color patches, enhancing the sense of depth within the artwork.
