Price History
Description
A reproduction of Vincent Van Gogh's 'Green Wheat-field with Cypress', Saint-Remy, 1889. Made in the UK, the museum-quality print is glazed and framed in solid oak wood, ready to hang on your wall. Vincent Van Gogh first became fascinated with cypress trees whilst living in Arles, a small city in Southern France. Van Gogh bought life to the evergreens, traditionally seen as emblematic of death, through his use of expressive brushstrokes and bold colours. At first, he depicted the trees embedded into the background of his landscapes, but by 1889 Van Gogh had brought them to the centre of his paintings. This transition is demonstrated in 'Green Wheat-field with Cypress’, which includes a tall, dark cypress tree flanked by a white farmhouse. Vincent Van Gogh was born in Holland in 1853. In 1888 he settled in Arles in Provence, where he was visited by Gauguin and painted his now-famous series of 'Sunflowers'. In the following year, a nervous breakdown brought him to a sanatorium at Saint-Rémy. It was during this period that he executed 'A Wheatfield, with Cypresses'. The traumas of his life, documented in his letters, have tended to dominate and distort modern perceptions of his art but the appreciation of his craft as a Post-Impressionist painter continues to grow. Have you thought about wall hooks and fittings?
Our Stylist Says
I love the John Lewis Vincent Van Gogh 'Green Wheat-field with Cypress' print for its vibrant colours and lively depiction of nature. Its 40 x 50cm size makes it a versatile statement piece that works well in living rooms, bedrooms, or even a home office. It pairs beautifully with neutral or earthy tones, adding a touch of colour and artwork interest without overwhelming the space. Practical styling tips include framing it with a simple wooden or white surround to enhance the natural theme, and hanging it at eye level to maximise its visual impact. It’s an easy way to introduce a classic art look with a contemporary, relaxed feel.

About John Lewis
A Legacy of Innovation and Inclusion
John Lewis started as a small shop on London's Oxford Street in 1864. Today, it's part of a bigger family called the John Lewis Partnership, which also includes Waitrose stores.
What makes them special is that they're owned by their employees, known as 'Partners'. The idea, from the beginning, was to give everyone a say in how the business was run. With over 74,000 Partners (employees) at the heart of its operations, the essence of John Lewis's vision, from over a century ago, still echoes today being the largest employee-owned venture.
Adapting to Changing Times
Like many stores, John Lewis has had to change with the times. They've closed some shops but have grown their online business a lot, especially when more people started shopping online during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Their history is filled with key moments, like buying Peter Jones in 1905, adding Waitrose in 1937, and starting their website in 2001. They've always tried to adapt and stay relevant.
Commitment to a Greater Purpose
John Lewis believes in doing good and making the world a better place. This is seen in the way they treat their employees and customers. For example, in 2021, they were the first big UK store to give parents six months paid leave when they have a baby and two weeks paid leave if they lose a pregnancy. They've been around for over a century and always aim to do the right thing by everyone.
