One of the last paintings by Vincent Van Gogh; "The Fields," goes on auction at Sotheby's in New York next Wednesday. The inn where Van Gogh died, in the French town of Auvers-sur-Oise hopes to raise money to buy the painting. Owners want to hang it in the room where the artist died. Vincent Van Gogh lived the final seventy days of his life at the Auberge Ravoux, in the town of Auvers-sur-Oise near Paris. It was an incredibly productive period. He painted more than seventy works here between May and the end of July 1890. As Van Gogh lay dying from a self-inflicted wound, in a dingy attic room, he was surrounded by his paintings of stone houses, country churches and the beautiful landscape that inspired his final burst of creativity. Above his cast iron bed hung "The Fields" a painting of the undulating wheat fields where Van Gogh contemplated the tension between life and death. David Norman, chairman of Sotheby's Impressionist & Modern Art Dept. said, "He was very rooted to the land he really thought the great joys and mysteries of life don't reside in necessarily religious exaltations of themes and subjects, but just in a common simple connection to other people and the earth and the cycles of the earth and the seasons. So he is just reaching out and kind of grasping the visual experience before him." Dominique-Charles Janssen, the owner of the inn,that became the artist's final abode; wants to bring the painting home. But he needs to raise the money to buy it at Sotheby's New York auction next Wednesday. Vincent Van Gogh lies buried in the local cemetery. The remains of his beloved brother Theo, later were interred next to him. About 400-thousand visitors come to visit the town every year. Some come here to sprinkle the ashes of loved ones over Van Gogh's grave - carrying out the final wish of those who desire to rest with Van Gogh. Dominique-Charles janssens, president of Van Gogh Institute, said, "It's in this town that people go beyond Van Gogh - in the end it's that they're in search of themselves. That's why there's people who keep coming back. They come back with their friends and share their emotions and the clientele that we have here are not tourists. They're pilgrims - people very rich on a human and emotional level." "The Fields" was sold by Theo van Gogh's widow in 1907. Since then it has remained in private hands. It was loaned to the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam from 2001-2007. Sotheby's says "The Fields" is possibly the last landscape the artist ever painted. And it is expected to fetch about 28 million to 35 million US dollars.
