On May 16, 1890, Vincent took a train to return to the north, specifically to Auvers-sur-Oise, thirty kilometers away from Paris, not far from his brother’s home. On the advice of Camille Pissarro, he entrusted to the care of Dr. Gachet, a modern physician who was specialized in nervous diseases and loved painting, as well as a friend of several painters. After a year spent in Saint-Rémy, Vincent wanted to leave the clinic where the sick around him were left to vegetate. Before this last stay, he spent three days in Paris, where he met his sister-in-law and his little nephew born a few months ago, who had been named after him: Vincent Willem. In Auvers-sur-Oise, he first stayed at the Saint-Aubin hotel, and later at the guesthouse of Mr. and Mrs. Ravoux. He would live a little more than two months, a time in which he produced art as never before: more than one painting a day, seventy-four in all, as well as dozens of drawings, large and small sketches. The works of this period reflected his more peaceful state of mind and desire to start over quietly by controlling his feelings. However, an inner conflict emerged, shown sharply with the force and contrast of colors. In July, some family troubles connected to Theo's state of health and his financial problems came on top. On July 27, Vincent went out to paint in the fields but, upon his return, confessed to having shot himself in the chest. His brother rushed to his bedside, but Vincent would die on the night of July 29 at the age of 37. One of his last paintings was Wheatfield with Crows, characterized by a haunting brushstroke. The painting is overloaded with emotional intensity, where opposing masses of color loom menacingly. Swirling black crows circle over them, a sign that his health condition had worsened and his end was not so far.
