The Met Store Office*Retro 51 Van Gogh Wheat Field with Cypresses Rollerball Pen

The perfect Met Museum souvenir.

Vincent van Gogh (Dutch, 1853–1890) became captivated by cypresses during his convalescence at the asylum in Saint-Rémy. Wheat Field with Cypresses (1889), a celebrated artwork in the Museum’s collection of European paintings and decorating this elegant rollerball pen from Retro 51, is among his exuberant compositions featuring the towering trees. The ordinarily self-critical artist regarded this painting as one of his “best” summer landscapes.
