Wheat Field in Cypresses

The Story Behind the Art

Vincent van Gogh's Wheat Field with Cypresses (1889) was born from his deep connection to the landscapes of Saint-Rémy. He saw the towering cypress trees as symbols of eternity and the golden wheat as a sign of nature's vibrant energy. Known for its bold colors and swirling patterns, this masterpiece is a testament to Van Gogh's unique ability to turn a simple landscape into a powerful emotional experience.

A Unique Perspective on Van Gogh

Our micro-mosaic recreation offers a distinctive way to experience this classic scene. We have translated Van Gogh’s famous "impasto" style—his thick, sculptural paint application—into thousands of hand-cut Smalti glass elements. The result is a stunningly textured, three-dimensional piece that captures the movement of the wind through the wheat and the depth of the Provencal sky.

Hand-Cut Smalti Glass

We use authentic Venetian Smalti glass, a material prized for centuries for its deep, saturated tones and its ability to maintain color purity. Rather than using standard tiles, our artisans work with specialized glass threads, hand-cutting each one into pieces of similar size to achieve the organic texture required for this intricate composition. Every single piece is placed by hand, ensuring that the energy and brilliance of the original painting are preserved in a medium that holds the golden light of eternity

"The cypresses are always occupying my thoughts... it is as beautiful in line and proportion as an Egyptian obelisk." — Vincent van Gogh
