A Meadow in the Mountains: Le Mas de Saint-Paul was painted by Vincent van Gogh in December 1889.

[1] It depicts fields of young wheat with a background of lilac mountains and yellowish sky.

He was initially confined to the immediate asylum grounds and painted the world he saw from his room, such as ivy covered trees, lilacs, and irises of the garden.

[5] As he ventured outside the asylum walls he painted the wheat fields, olive groves and cypress trees of the surrounding countryside,[4] which he saw as "characteristic of Provence".

[2] Van Gogh sent the painting to his brother Theo on 3 January 1890, with an accompanying letter in which he refers to the work as The Fields.
