Description
Bulb Fields (also known as Flower Beds in Holland) is one of Vincent van Gogh’s earliest known oil paintings, completed in 1883 while he was living in The Hague. The work depicts neatly planted rows of blooming flower bulbs—likely hyacinths—stretching toward the horizon in a highly organized, almost abstract composition. Thatched cottages line the distance beneath a somber sky, showcasing Van Gogh’s fascination with rural labor and natural beauty. While subdued in tone compared to his later works, this painting reveals his emerging sense of perspective, structure, and the emotional potential of everyday scenery.
