I am absorbed in this immense plain
00:00:05.064 --> 00:00:08.000
with wheatfields against the hills...
00:00:09.084 --> 00:00:12.006
..boundless as the sea.

Schama then continues his quest
00:00:15.096 --> 00:00:19.016
to cut through the tortured-artist stereotype,
00:00:19.016 --> 00:00:21.088
reinterpreting Wheatfield With Crows.
00:00:22.096 --> 00:00:26.076
Schama believes - and I agree with him - that while Vincent did have
00:00:26.076 --> 00:00:31.004
episodes of madness, that while he was painting, the artist was sane.
