"Wheatfields under Thunderclouds" is an 1890 oil painting by Vincent van Gogh, measuring 50.4 cm × 101.3 cm, created on canvas. This landscape depicts a relatively flat and featureless wheatfield under a dark blue, foreboding sky filled with heavy white clouds. The composition divides the scene into two parts, with shades of green and yellow below and blues and whites above, emphasizing Van Gogh's expressive brushwork characteristic of Post-impressionism. Since 1973, the work has been on permanent loan to the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, offering viewers a vivid glimpse into the artist’s emotional connection with nature.
