Amidst his mental turmoil, Van Gogh found solace in painting, which became an essential outlet for his emotions. The style of the artwork is typical of his later works, characterized by expressive, swirling brush strokes and a vivid color palette that conveys intensity and emotion rather than accurate depiction. The physical and psychological isolation of the asylum led Van Gogh to explore the therapeutic potentials of nature, hence the frequent depictions of the landscapes around him. "Wheat Field with Cypresses" reflects his heightened emotional state and his enduring love for the natural world. Currently, the artwork is housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, forming an essential part of their 19th-century European paintings collection and continuing to inspire and captivate audiences worldwide.
