Vincent Van Gogh first became fascinated with cypress trees whilst living in Arles, a small city in Southern France. Van Gogh bought life to the evergreens, traditionally seen as emblematic of death, through his use of expressive brushstrokes and bold colours. At first, he depicted the trees embedded into the background of his landscapes, but by 1889 Van Gogh had brought them to the centre of his paintings. This transition is demonstrated in 'Green Wheat-field with Cypress’, which includes a tall, dark cypress tree flanked by a white farmhouse.

Vincent Van Gogh was born in Holland in 1853. In 1888 he settled in Arles in Provence, where he was visited by Gauguin and painted his now-famous series of 'Sunflowers'. In the following year, a nervous breakdown brought him to a sanatorium at Saint-Rémy. It was during this period that he executed 'A Wheatfield, with Cypresses'. The traumas of his life, documented in his letters, have tended to dominate and distort modern perceptions of his art but the appreciation of his craft as a Post-Impressionist painter continues to grow.
