Wheat field before the storm (Korenveld onder onweerslucht, English: Wheat Field Under Clouded Sky) - a painting by Vincent van Gogh painted in July 1890 during the artist's three-month stay in the small town of Auvers-sur-Oise, north of Paris. Catalog number: F 778, JH 2097. == History and description == The wheat field before the storm is one of several paintings on similar subjects, painted by van Gogh several days before his death. He mentions them in a letter to his brother Theo, written around July 10, 1890: So, returning here, I got to work again, although I can barely keep the brush in my fingers. Because I knew exactly what I wanted to do, I painted three more large canvases. These are vast cereal fields under a rough sky and I did not have to go out too much to try to express sadness and extreme loneliness. The painting is a reminiscence of 17th-century Dutch landscape painting, whose tradition, and especially the extensive panoramas of Philips Koninck, van Gogh has always been aware. The image emanates a feeling of loneliness.
