Van Gogh Wheat Field with Cypresses Bookmark

An artful token from the Museum’s gift shop.

Vincent van Gogh (Dutch, 1853–1890) became captivated by cypresses during his convalescence at the asylum in Saint-Rémy. Wheat Field with Cypresses (1889), a highlight of The Met’s collection of European paintings and a detail of which is featured on this artful bookmark, is among his exuberant compositions featuring the towering trees. The ordinarily self-critical artist regarded this painting as one of his “best” summer landscapes.
