Bulb Fields

Bulb Fields, also known as Flower Beds in Holland, is an oil painting created by Vincent van Gogh in early 1883.

[1] It depicts the rectangular plots of blue, yellow, pink and red hyacinths grown by a Dutch bulb merchant.

The low vantage point creates a panoramic view of the field of colourful spring flowers, with thatched cottages and leafless trees in the background.

With other possessions, it was stored by a carpenter, Adrianus Schrauwen, who sold it along with other worthless "rubbish" in 1902 to the merchant J.C. Couvreur.

It was exhibited at the Kunstzalon Oldenzeel in Rotterdam in 1902 with the title Tulpenland (Dutch: "Tulip country"), even though the flowers are hyacinths.
