Wheat Harvest in Provence

Post-Impressionism

The story

Same rush every year: at some point in June or July, wheat is ready to be cut. And when you start, you'd better be quick, because any storm will ruin your harvest if it's not neatly arranged in haystacks or stored under a roof. Van Gogh knew that, or he discovered it when arriving in Arles in 1888. This season, he painted a suite of 10 harvest paintings in just over a week before a sudden, heavy summer storm brought the harvest to an abrupt end.
