Wheatfield with Crows (Dutch: Korenveld met kraaien ) is a July 1890
painting by Vincent van Gogh. It has been cited by several critics as one of
his greatest works.
It is commonly stated that this was van Gogh's final painting. This
association was popularized by Vincente Minnelli’s 1956 biopic Lust for Life
, which depicts van Gogh painting it immediately before shooting himself. His
final painting in actuality was Tree Roots. The evidence of his letters
suggests that Wheatfield with Crows was completed around 10 July and
predates such paintings as Auvers Town Hall on 14 July 1890 and Daubigny's
Garden.
