Wheat Fields is a series of dozens of paintings by Dutch artist Vincent van Gogh. The close association of peasants and the cycles of nature particularly interested Van Gogh, such as the sowing of seeds, harvest and sheaves of wheat in the fields. Van Gogh saw ploughing, sowing and harvesting as symbolic of man's efforts to overwhelm the cycles of nature. This oil painting on canvas titled Wheat Fields, also sometimes known as Wheat Field with Alpilles Foothills in the Background, was painted in June 1888 and is now in the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam.
