# Wheat Fields, in Dutch and Flemish Baroque

Jacob van Ruisdael painted this in about 1670, aged about 37. It is now at The Met in New York.

Our note:

> A sandy road runs between ripening fields of wheat towards a distant horizon, beneath a sky of towering clouds that fills most of the canvas, with sunlight and shadow moving across the land.
