Poppy Field by Vincent Van Gogh Tablecloth

Poppy Field by Vincent Van Gogh, oil on canvas 1890, is a landscape painting of vast fields of brilliant red poppy flowers stretching to the distant tree lines and rolling hills. Busy, swirling, thickly and vigourously applied brush strokes of contrasting and complementary colours lead the viewer’s eye ceaselessly around the composition, giving a feeling of both appreciation of natural beauty and great disturbance. Points of purple-violet and other colours define other flowers in the foreground as well as the rounded tree tops that intersect the swirling sky at the edges of the field.
