Bulb Fields, also known as Flower Beds in Holland, is an oil painting created by Vincent Van Gogh in early 1883. It was his first garden painting, made during Van Gogh’s second year in The Hague. It depicts the rectangular plots of blue, yellow, pink, and red hyacinths grown by a Dutch bulb merchant. The low vantage point creates a panoramic view of the field of colorful spring flowers, with thatched cottages and leafless trees in the background. The regular composition allows Van Gogh to explore his interest in perspective.
