Landscape at Saint-Rémy (Enclosed Field with Peasant) by Vincent van Gogh, 1889

Van Gogh created this electric landscape in 1889 while a patient at the Saint-Paul-de-Mausole asylum, proving that his creative spirit couldn't be confined. You can see a lone peasant trudging through the fields carrying a bundle of hay, looking tiny against the backdrop of the swirling Alpilles mountains. The sky is a chaotic mix of blues and whites, painted with those famous thick, wavy brushstrokes that make the whole scene feel like it's humming with energy.
