Historical Context: Van Gogh painted this landscape while checked into an asylum. The scene is based on the view from his barred window, depicting a ploughed field of yellow stubble, rolling hills, and a ploughman with two horses. The distant windmills in the background were not actually part of the landscape, but were added from van Gogh's imagination. The artist identified closely with rural workers, once writing in a letter that he viewed his own painting process as "plowing on his canvases".
