5. A Wheatfield with Cypresses
Sold for around $90.7 million (original price at the time $57 million)
Painted in 1889
This is another painting that comes from a series on our list of most expensive Van Gogh paintings, this time it’s from the Wheat field series (three paintings, very similar). This beautiful landscape perfectly depicts Van Gogh’s perception of nature and his character – that inner flame we talked about in the introductory part. With barely a few straight lines, the image is very dynamic.
