Wheatfield Under Thunderclouds is an 1890 oil painting by Vincent van Gogh. The painting measures 50.4 cm × 101.3 cm (19.8 in × 39.9 in). It depicts a relatively flat and featureless landscape with fields of green wheat, under a foreboding dark blue sky with a few heavy white clouds. The horizon divides the work almost into two, with shades of green and yellow below and shades of blue and white above.

And also:

Minor planet 4457 Van Gogh is named in his honour. :)

For sure. For me, it doesn't quite have the fascinating technique or entrancing feel of other of his pieces, but it seems like kind of a unique take on an otherwise unremarkable landscape.

Like-- if he went all 'Starry Night' on this one, would it have created a certain subgenre in landscape painting? (he asked, unpretentiously :P)

I can already see traces of the psychedelic movement in this imaginery scenario.

Yeah... seriously!
