Towards Heaven

Vincent van Gogh (1853 - 1890), Auvers, June 1890, oil on canvas, 70 cm x 90 cm.
Reaper Vincent with two (2 !!) reaper-knives on his way to the white field in the distance.... this white field looks like a cloudy magic carpet that will carry him to heaven. Van Gogh never painted white fields.... the fields that he painted were always yellow, green, brown.... never white... He is escorted by a line of honor in military colors. See the excited clouds that are circling impatiently to carry him into heaven. In the upper right sky Vincent painted a "paved road"...... into heaven or towards... only God knows... Reaper Vincent has two (2) reaper knives and that is very rare... a farmer normally carries only one reaper knife while working in the field.... So.... this reaper is NOT reaping here.... Vincent is on his way to heaven and death!
