"With a\u00A0sense of\u00A0inexhaustible fascination with the natural world, \u201CWheatfield with Cypresses\u201D by\u00A0Vincent van Gogh is\u00A0a\u00A0poignant and haunting reminder of\u00A0the artist\u2019s fragile emotional state. Disquiet, hope, and bustling intensity emerge from Van Gogh\u2019s landscape, and allows the viewer a\u00A0privileged glimpse of\u00A0the artist\u2019s own way of\u00A0seeing the world. The vortex-like sky, just about ready to\u00A0either swallow the surrounding countryside or\u00A0spew forth some new possibility or\u00A0solution to\u00A0the artist\u2019s predicament, \u201CWheatfield with Cypresses\u201D is\u00A0bustling with life and energy. Often compared to\u00A0his The \u201CStarry Night\u201D, \u201CWheatfield with Cypresses\u201D has frequently been cited as\u00A0an\u00A0ominous foretelling of\u00A0Van Gogh\u2019s fate. Finding a\u00A0visual lexicon through the pulsating rhythms of\u00A0the natural world, the fraught sky that haunts the murmuring fields articulates the magic Van Gogh was able to\u00A0find in\u00A0the most humdrum of\u00A0scenes. Captured from life during his self-incarceration at\u00A0a\u00A0sanatorium in\u00A0the south of\u00A0France, Wheatfield with Cypress was a\u00A0poignant attempt at\u00A0self-treatment. After the catastrophic visit from his friend and fellow artist Paul Gauguin that ended with Van Gogh slicing off his own ear as\u00A0penance, the artist committed himself for treatment. Finding respite in\u00A0the gardens of\u00A0his hospital, Van Gogh painted some of\u00A0his most remarkable studies of\u00A0life in\u00A0the grip of\u00A0change, death, and rebirth. Reflective of\u00A0the ominous cycle of\u00A0his depressive episodes, the artist\u2019s natural world is\u00A0one with the power of\u00A0both condemnation and salvation. Read with the tragic benefit of\u00A0hindsight it\u00A0is\u00A0easy to\u00A0see works like Wheatfield with Cypress as\u00A0indicative of\u00A0the suicidal fate soon to\u00A0befall Van Gogh, but the truth is\u00A0that these canvases were celebratory works of\u00A0hope and resilience"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
