I know they're not necessarily the most popular ones according to everyone but they're widely known and I'm not sure how many of us would agree on a top 9.
I may make other Van Gogh polls. I have polls about literature, art, comics etc in my pinned post.

Vincent van Gogh ֍ Wheatfield with crows (1890)
Wheatfield with Crows is one of Van Gogh's most famous paintings. It is often claimed that this is the artist's very last work. The threatening sky with crows and the dead end path would point forward to his approaching end of life. However, this is a persistent myth. After this painting, he made several other works.
With his cornfields under wild skies, Van Gogh wanted to express 'sadness, extreme loneliness', but at the same time he also wanted to show 'how healthy and heart-strengthening I find the countryside'.

Wheatfield with Crows, a painting that's as enigmatic as it is powerful, stands as one of the most renowned pieces from the legendary Dutch painter Vincent van Gogh. This work, often mistaken as his last due to its ominous tone and poignant themes, is a prime subject of fascination for art lovers and historians alike. Today, we'll take a deep dive into the heart of this masterpiece, peeling back the layers of symbolism and technique to truly understand what makes Wheatfield with Crows a testament to Van Gogh's genius.

The Sadness Will Last Forever // Paul Vermeersch
after Vincent Van Gogh
             There is no blue without yellow and without orange. My room is blue, and in it the green chairs are arranged at odd angles. Sometimes I can almost bear it.
             People eat potatoes. The skull clenches its burning cigarette. All my friends look bored. I have played hell somewhat with the truthfulness of the colours.
             My shoes are worn. I see drawings and pictures in the poorest of huts and the dirtiest of corners. My brother sends me money. Sometimes I can almost bear it.
             My friend was a genius. His ego and his syphilis made him unreasonable. The best way to know life is to love many things. These flowers are royal purple and tangerine.
             Great things are done by a series of small things brought together. Coal-black crows erupt from the canary-coloured wheat. My brother will be buried at my side. The sadness will last forever.
from Paul Vermeersch’s The Reinvention of the Human Hand

Wheatfield with crows
A flock of birds overhead
having escaped from between a brush
and Gogh's last breath
now searches refuge
in impending storm
painting the horizon black
Do you believe in omens?
behold - the fields grew gold
while we were busy growing older, better
than yesterday, too busy to keep our eyes open
maybe it's time to spread our wings
and nestle in dark blue vapor, with all the time
of the world tucked underneath our beaks

ok y'know what. I'm tired of all the same questions in ask games so I'm taking matters into my own hands
OC/Writing Art Asks
For the character:
Pencil: does this character have any "sketchy" habits? Have they ever broken the law? Do they regret it?
Pen: what's one minor moment your character regrets? A small mistake, but something they "can't erase"?
Paintbrush: How often does your character "brush over" conflict instead of facing it head on? Is there something specific they don't like to face, or do they avoid conflict as a whole?
Marker: what's one thing your character would never tattoo on their body, even if they were paid a million dollars for it?
Crayon: what was your OC like when they were four years old? Were they loud? Shy? Were they the resident "weird kid" or did they get along with others their age?
Colored Pencil: if given the choice, would this character splurge on an expensive (but potentially worthwhile) branded product, or buy a low-budget alternative even if the quality suffers?
Copics: what is this character's most expensive habit or hobby? Do they ever feel guilty about the money they spend on it?
Graphite: what's something decently common that your character does in a unique or different way? (like how graphite is present in all pencils, but not everyone uses pure graphite)
Charcoal: share any unique physical features about this character that are not scars or tattoos.
Tortillon: does your OC "blend in" with the people around them? Physically? Metaphorically?
Pastels: Give me three colors that best represent your OC. Now give me three colors that your OC likes best. Is there an overlap?
Chalk: what was one activity this character enjoyed with their sibling(s) as a kid? If they don't have siblings, what they did with their neighborhood friends
Eraser: what's one way this character has changed over time? Either over the course of their story, or over the course of designing them as an author.
Palette: list four of your character's primary skills, then share at least two ways these skills might blend or overlap
For the work:
Starry Night: are there any scenes in this work that take place at nighttime? Is this significant, or just the passing of time?
Mona Lisa: oh, it's the fanfic writer's favorite word. Do a find-and-replace on the word "smirk" and share any lines that pop up.
The Scream: are there any moments in this work that you think could scare a reader? Are there any moments where the characters themselves are profoundly scared?
Persistence of Memory: are there any moments in this work where a character's memory plays a strong role? Either an individual memory, or simply a character's ability to recall the past.
Girl With a Pearl Earring: are there any moments in this work where a character's clothing or accessories play a major role?
The Kiss: share your favorite kiss scene from this work. If there's no kiss scene, share your favorite moment of intimacy (romantic or platonic)
American Gothic: what's one relationship between characters in this work that you think people wouldn't expect? (i.e., how the people in American Gothic are not married, they're the painter's sister and dentist)
Guernica: look through a few of your imagery/descriptions in this work. Are they generally straightforward, or are they more "abstract"?
Wheatfield with Crows: are there any scenes in this work that involve birds? Do the birds play a definitive role, or are they simply part of the setting?
Woman with a Parasol: are there any moments in this fic that feel "blurry" to you? Is this a stylistic choice, or would you go back and clarify the descriptions if you were given the chance?
A Sunday Afternoon...: pick one "little moment" from this fic. How representative is it of the fic's tone and story as a whole?
Creation of Adam: choose one character that is not present at the beginning of this work. How did you introduce them into the story?
The Swing: are there any moments in this fic where the characters get to slow down and have fun? If not, why is that?
The Last Supper: does this fic incorporate any symbolism based on religion, theology, or mythology? If so, give an example.
For the author:
Paper: Who do you feel is your most two-dimensional or underdeveloped OC? Why is this? (including those that are still in development/haven't been written about yet)
Canvas: Do you ever "prep" your fics with outlines or warmups before you start writing, or do you just dive right in?
Graffiti: Have you ever had to research something that felt illicit or illegal for a fic? What was it?
Photography: What's one moment from any of your fics that you feel is preserved in your memory?
Clay: Do you usually take time to "sculpt" your OCs before you write them, or develop them as you write?
Film: Which one of your fics do you think would work best if turned into a movie? Who would direct it?
Adhesive: when you write, do you usually "stick" to one character or story for a while, or bounce around various characters and ideas?
Cricut: are there any characters you've had to "cut" from a story? Are there any moments/chapters/stories you've had to "cut" entirely?
Felting: how often do you include soft moments when you write? Do these moments play a role in the main plot, or do you include them as an escape from the rest of the story?
Weaving: are your works typically similar to one another? Pick two works, and share one similarity and one difference between them.
Finger Painting: share a small snippet from your earliest work (or the earliest that you can get back to). How would you rewrite it today? Either share the rewrite itself or just describe how you'd do it.
Creative!: free space! share something you've been dying to share about your writing! Could be an OC that never gets the limelight, a moment you were proud of, or anything else you'd like to share
