Porque a Carlsberg não é só uma fábrica de cerveja, podemos encontrar em Copenhaga, no Museu da empresa (Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek) esta admirável pintura (óleo sobre tela). Por cá, a UNICER e a CENTRAL DE CERVEJAS investem em Festivais de Verão e Queimas das Fitas...


"Van Gogh's letters document that Landscape from Saint-Rémy was painted during the second week of June, 1889. Around the 9th June he wrote to his brother, Théo van Gogh, "I am working on two landscapes (size 30 canvas), views taken in the hills, one is the country that I see from the window of my bedroom. In the foreground, a field of wheat ruined and hurled to the ground by a storm. A boundary wall and beyond the grey foliage of a few olive trees, some huts and the hills. Then at the top of the canvas a great white and grey cloud floating in the azure. It is a landscape of extreme simplicity in colouring too".
