Van Gogh's classic "Fields near Alpiler"

It will be filmed on the evening of May 12 in Christie's New York

Vincent Van Gogh's famous painting "Fields Near Alpiler" will be unveiled at Christie's "Evening Sale of Twentieth Century Art" on May 12 in Christie's New York. The painting, painted in November 1889, also bears witness to the sincere friendship between Van Gogh and his friend Joseph Rürin.

The Fields Near Alpile depicts a vast landscape of lush wheat fields, followed by rows of olive trees and the towering peaks of Alpil. The vast landscape is not only a classic subject of Van Gogh, but also reflects the avant-garde and expressive techniques that the artist began to use during his stay at the Sanatorium of Saint-Rémy from 1889 to 1890.
