Haystacks under a Rainy Sky is a 1896 oil by Vincent van Gogh, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Kröller-Müller Museum.
This painting shows a landscape with a large haystack in the center, under a gray, rainy sky. The haystack is golden yellow and appears to be freshly cut. In the foreground, there's a patch of blue water, possibly a pond or a stream, with some green grass and plants around it. The artist used thick, heavy brushstrokes to create the texture of the haystack and the roughness of the ground. The colors are muted, with shades of brown, green, and gray dominating the scene. The overall mood is somber and melancholic, evoking a sense of rural life on a rainy day.
