Green Wheat Field by Vincent Van Gogh, June 1889, Vincent Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam Holand.
I've been to the Van Gogh museum every time I've been to Europe, which has been 4 times. The first time I went I was 17-years-old, traveling through Europe on an inter-rail pass. I didn't really know about Van Gogh, maybe not even the "Starry Night" painting. But I was hooked the first time I went. The last time I went I was 43 and remembered vividly that he repeated his compositions over and over. I know that is how he became a master at painting. He wasn't happy with just painting one image and then moving on to another. He painted the same image over and over, getting better each time.
