Creation Process
We create our paintings with museum quality and covering the highest academic standards. Once we get your order, it will be entirely hand-painted with oil on canvas. All the materials we use are the highest level, being totally artist graded painting materials and linen canvas.
We will add 1.6" (4 cm) additional blank canvas all over the painting for stretching.
High quality and detailing in every inch are time consuming. The reproduction of Vincent van Gogh also needs time to dry in order to be completely ready for shipping, as this is crucial to not be damaged during transportation.
Based on the size, level of detail and complexity we need 8-9 weeks to complete the process.
In case the delivery date needs to be extended in time, or we are overloaded with requests, there will be an email sent to you sharing the new timelines of production and delivery.
TOPofART wants to remind you to keep patient, in order to get you the highest quality, being our mission to fulfill your expectations.
We not stretch and frame our oil paintings due to several reasons:
Painting reproduction is a high quality expensive product, which we cannot risk to damage by sending it being stretched.
Also, there are postal restrictions, regarding the size of the shipment.
Additionally, due to the dimensions of the stretched canvas, the shipment price may exceed the price of the product itself.
You can stretch and frame your painting in your local frame-shop.
Delivery
Once the painting Wheatfield is ready and dry, it will be shipped to your delivery address. The canvas will be rolled-up in a secure postal tube.
We offer free shipping as well as paid express transportation services.
After adding your artwork to the shopping cart, you will be able to check the delivery price using the Estimate Shipping and Tax tool.
Museum Quality
The paintings we create are only of museum quality. Our academy graduated artists will never allow a compromise in the quality and detail of the ordered painting. TOPofART do not work, and will never allow ourselves to work with low quality studios from the Far East. We are based in Europe, and quality is our highest priority.
Additional Information
The composition is brilliantly simple yet psychologically complex. A vast expanse of golden wheat dominates the foreground and middle distance, its rippling surface rendered in thick, gestural brushstrokes that seem to vibrate with organic energy. Van Gogh positions the horizon line high in the canvas, a technique that emphasizes the overwhelming presence of the wheat field and creates an almost abstract quality in the painting's lower portion. The artist's signature impasto technique is evident in every brushstroke, with paint applied in bold, directional sweeps that follow the natural patterns of the wind-blown grain.
The color palette is characteristic of Van Gogh's mature style, but with a restraint that makes it all the more powerful. The wheat field is rendered in variations of intense yellow and ochre, punctuated by touches of pale green that suggest wild grasses. These earthbound colors are dramatically offset by the ethereal blue-green sky and distant mountains. It's a masterclass in complementary color relationships, with the orange-tinted roofs of the farmhouses providing crucial accents against the cool azure of the horizon.
The architectural elements - a cluster of buildings with distinctive orange-red roofs - anchor the composition and provide a human scale against the immensity of the natural world. These structures, along with the vertical accents of cypress trees on the right, create a subtle rhythmic counterpoint to the horizontal sweep of the wheat field. The buildings also serve as silent witnesses to Van Gogh's interest in the relationship between human presence and natural landscape.
This painting exemplifies Van Gogh's revolutionary approach to landscape painting. It's not merely a depiction of a wheat field in Provence; it's a profound meditation on color, light, and the eternal cycle of agricultural life. The artist's decision to leave Paris for Arles proved transformative, allowing him to develop the intense, expressive style that would ultimately secure his place in the pantheon of modern art. In this seemingly simple scene, we witness the full maturity of his vision - where every brushstroke serves both descriptive and emotional purposes, and where the everyday becomes transcendent through the sheer force of artistic conviction.
