Bulb Fields, also known asFlower Beds in Holland, is anoil painting created byVincent van Gogh in early 1883. It was donated to theNational Gallery of Art in Washington DC in 1983.

Bulb Fields was Van Gogh's first garden painting, in oil paint on canvas mounted on wood. It was made in Van Gogh's second year inThe Hague.[1]

It depicts the rectangular plots of blue, yellow, pink and redhyacinths grown by a Dutch bulb merchant. The low vantage point creates apanoramic view of the field of colourful spring flowers, with thatched cottages and leafless trees in the background. The regular composition allows Van Gogh to explore his interest inperspective.[2]

It seems likely that Van Gogh left the painting with other early works at his family's house inNuenen in 1885, and then it accompanied his recently widowed mother and sister when they moved toBreda in early 1886. With other possessions, it was stored by a carpenter, Adrianus Schrauwen, who sold it along with other worthless "rubbish" in 1902 to the merchant J.C. Couvreur. It was exhibited at the Kunstzalon Oldenzeel in Rotterdam in 1902 with the titleTulpenland (Dutch: "Tulip country"), even though the flowers are hyacinths. It was bought by Jan Smit in 1905, and sold to his grandson John Enthoven in 1919. After passing through the hands of several art dealers, it was acquired byPaul Mellon from theKnoedler gallery in 1955. Mellon donated it to theNational Gallery of Art in Washington DC in 1983.[3]
