A ripe wheat field in the summer wind, a towering cypress at the right, olive trees in the middle distance, the blue line of the Alpilles behind and white clouds rolling across the sky. Van Gogh painted it on the spot in late June or early July 1889 from the countryside around the asylum at Saint-Rémy, in the same weeks as The Starry Night, and he counted it among his best summer landscapes; he told Theo the sky was like a piece of Scotch plaid. Its thick impasto records the heat and the gusts almost physically. That September, working indoors, he made two studio versions, one the same size, now in the National Gallery in London, and a smaller one for his mother and sister. This first version was bought by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 1993 with a gift from the Annenberg Foundation.

This exhibition-poster edition shows the whole work beneath original typography set in-house. The original is in the public domain.

Is this the whole painting, or a crop?

The whole work, uncropped. The exhibition-poster edition sets the complete image above typography designed in-house.

Is Wheat Field with Cypresses in the public domain?

Yes. Vincent van Gogh (1853–1890) died more than 70 years ago and the work was published before 1929, so the painting itself is public domain. This print is a reproduction made from a high-resolution scan of the original, which is held by The Metropolitan Museum of Art.

What is it printed on?

Heavyweight matte fine-art paper with pigment inks, made to order in 12×18, 16×24 and 24×36 inches; the two larger sizes are also offered framed. Colours are matched to the scan, not brightened.

When was Wheat Field with Cypresses painted, and in what medium?

Wheat Field with Cypresses dates from 1889 and was made in oil on canvas; the original measures 73.2 × 93.4 cm.

What size works above a sofa or bed?

For a standard three-seat sofa or a queen bed, 24×36 inches reads as a single statement piece; 16×24 suits a narrower wall or a pairing. The print's proportions follow the original, so a landscape-format painting is wider than it is tall.
