Vincent van Gogh - Green Wheat Fields (1890)

[batbobsession]

Okay so I MISSED my favorite artist’s birthday and that makes me very mad at myself

So Vincent Van Gogh was born on March 30 and he deserves EVERY HAPPINESS both Earth and Heaven have to offer

I grew up thinking the definition of “artist” was Vincent van Gogh

Just a couple weeks ago I stared at one of his paintings for a full 5-10 minutes trying to figure out what was in his mind when painting one particular scribble in a full green vineyard of scribbles (ENLIGHTENED scribbles, mind you, this man was a GENIUS)

This is the painting in question, Vineyard at Auvers:

I have shed genuine tears for this man...multiple times

I have even wondered what his reaction would be if he was alive today...how well his works have aged

I honestly wish he knows...he suffered so much and he deserves to know how much people love his style

I’d go back in time just to tell him how much he is appreciated.

My mom had THREE PRINTS OF HIS WORK FROM THE VAN GOGH MUSEUM and they were just abandoned in the storage room and she never told me about them...so they’re mine now.

I have watched every movie, (especially that one Dr. Who episode) and listened to his musical soundtrack on loop (yes, there’s a musical about him, I will talk about it soon)

Favorite Lyrics:

“The sun is high, the time is right, and everything is gold...”

“The sky is full of light, swirling in spirals, bold and bright, and I’ve already won...”

“God, let my brush strokes become interwoven; keep me alive, clarified and unbroken”

The one that always breaks me:

“I’m....ready for harvest-time...” 

I did a paint-by-number of “Starry Night Over the Rhone” while listening to his musical...

My favorite paintings of his are “Wheat Field with Crows”, “Green Wheat Fields”, and “Landscape Under a Stormy Sky”

If you don’t know about him, look him up, scroll through his paintings, give him a little love. Reblog this if you want, or tell me what your favorite painting of his is.

And I just feel like sharing this because if any fandom has a love for the classics, it’s you guys

Just...

Happy Birthday, sir. I hope that wherever you are, the stars twinkle brighter than the sun.

One of Van Gogh's Last Paintings Unveiled

[quote]A spectacularly vibrant Vincent van Gogh painting was unveiled today at the National Gallery of Art in Washington after going private nearly 50 years ago. The work, "Green Wheat Fields, Auvers," is particularly exciting for art historians because the famous Dutch painter completed it just weeks before he died in France in 1890 at age 37. The oil painting had been in the private collection of late millionaire Paul Mellon, whose father, Andrew Mellon, founded the gallery in 1937. It had hanged, unframed, in Paul and his wife Rachel's home in Virginia until Rachel, 103, donated it to the museum earlier this year after its last public showing in 1966. It now lives in a beautiful gold frame but with just a little sign and no protective glass, next to a self-portrait of the artist.[/quote] Read more HERE
