Wheatfield with Crows is a July 1890 painting by Vincent van Gogh. It is commonly but mistakenly believed that this was Van Gogh's last painting, a misunderstanding fed by "seeing the dramatic, cloudy sky filled with crows and the cut-off path as obvious portents of his coming end".
A usual interpretation of this painting is that it shows Van Gogh's troubled state of mind with a dark, forbidding sky, the indecision of three paths going in different directions and the black crow’s overhead being signs of foreboding or even death. The artist wrote that he had made three paintings in Auvers of large fields of wheat under troubled skies.
