Recorded in the spellings of Minor, Minors, Miner, Miners, the French Huguenot Minier, and its possible variant Minear, this is an English surname of French origins.
Green Wheat Fields, Auvers was painted during Van Goghâs final months in Auvers-sur-Oise, a village just north of Paris. This work is a âpure landscapeâ in that there is no visible motif beyond the grassy field, road, and sky; there are no animals or figures, but instead lush flora whipped up by the wind.
Whether or not this religious inspiration is true, it is known that the piece is not the only Starry Night painting that Van Gogh ever created. Gogh was quite proud of a piece he had painted earlier in Arles in 1888 that depicted stars reflecting in the Rhone River.
