On the colorful canvas of this painting, we see the yellow and green fields between Montmajour and Arles, contrasting faintly with the red roofs of the farmhouses. In the center of the painting is a blue cart, which is sometimes used as an alternative name of this work. In the background, on the left, Van Gogh depicted the Abbey of Montmajour, which fascinated him greatly. It is said that Van Gogh was very happy around Arles. It is clear from his letters to his brother that he was a bit troubled by the mistral, which at that time blew so strongly that it made it impossible for painters to paint outdoors, but Van Gogh mainly drew and only started painting after spending several months in Arles. The author considered Wheat Field with Sheaves and Arles in the Background his most successful painting of that time and attributed the success to sunlight, which turned the colors in landscapes into wonderful warm harmonies.

Vincent Willem van Gogh (1853-1890). Dutch painter belonging to Post-Impressionism. His paintings (some 900 paintings and 1,100 drawings and sketches) are among the most famous in the world and are sold for exorbitant sums (except for those in our shop). Parisian Impressionists He lived in Paris from 1886 and was influenced by the use of bright colours - most of his works were painted during this period. In his paintings, Gogh uses contrasting colours (often blue and orange - he said that I want to use colours other contrasts to each of them shone even more to contrast a man and a woman). He was known for his excesses and amputated an ear after the break-up of his friendship with Gauguin. There is a lot of speculation about this incident (he possibly suffered from heavy metal poisoning from paint that had caused mental problems). In 1890, unfortunately he committed suicide.
