The Reaper 1889

"The Reaper", painted in 1889 by Vincent van Gogh, depicts a lone figure working in a vast wheat field. The scene is bathed in a golden light, with the setting sun casting long shadows. Van Gogh’s signature brushstrokes, visible in the swirling wheat and the rolling hills, create a sense of movement and energy. This painting, part of his "Wheatfield" series, reflects van Gogh's fascination with the natural world and the rhythms of rural life. The work is currently housed in the Kröller-Müller Museum in Otterlo, Netherlands.
