'''''Rain''''' (in French, ''La Pluie'') (F650, H565, JH1839) (sometimes known as '''''Enclosed Wheat Field in the Rain''''') is an oil painting by [[Vincent van Gogh]]. It was made in early November 1889, during the year from May 1889 to May 1890 that Van Gogh was a voluntary patient in the hospital at the , at [[Saint-Rémy-de-Provence]]. He repeatedly painted the view from his room's window, depicting the fields and hills he could see at various times of day and in various weather conditions. ''Rain'' measures and is held by the [[Philadelphia Museum of Art]].
One subject of particular interest of Van Gogh during his residence at the Saint-Paul-de-Mausole hospital was a field behind the hospital, enclosed by walls, which he painted or sketched about a dozen times. Having painted ''Wheat Field with Reaper'' in June 1889, which depicts a peasant cutting wheat with a sickle at the end of the summer, and then ''[[Enclosed Field with Peasant]]'' in October 1889, with peasant carrying a bundle of straw through in a bare ploughed field, a few weeks later he repainted the field during a rain shower, after it has been resown with wheat. The scene has moved on from the yellows and browns of the harvest to the greys, violets, and blues of autumn, with the green of the germinating [[winter wheat]].
Van Gogh made several pictures of rainy scenes while living further north, but this painting of the enclosed field in the rain was one of few works depicting rain that Van Gogh made while he was living in the south of France. The representation of rain as parallel diagonal lines drew inspiration from [[Japanese prints]], as with his 1887 [[Japonaiserie (Van Gogh)|Japonaiserie]] painting ''The Bridge in the Rain (after Hiroshige)'' which copied [[Hiroshige]]'s woodcut ''[[Sudden Shower over Shin-Ōhashi bridge and Atake]]''. ''Rain'' is mentioned in two letters to his brother [[Theo van Gogh ]]. In a letter of 3 November 1889, Vincent said that a painting of a rain effect was in progress, and he gave it the simple title ''La Pluie'' ("The Rain") in a letter dated 3 January 1890 that he sent to Theo along with several paintings.
On Van Gogh's death in July 1890, the painting was inherited by his sister-in-law, [[Johanna van Gogh-Bonger]]. It was exhibited at the [[Munich Secession]] exhibition in 1903, and it was bought by the collector [[Hugo von Tschudi]]. His wife Angela von Tschudi inherited it on his death in 1911. She lent it to the [[Neue Pinakothek]] in Munich, and in 1928 was sold to the art dealer [[Paul Rosenberg (art dealer)|Paul Rosenberg]], who in turn sold it to [[Henry Plumer McIlhenny]] in 1949. McIlhenny was associated with the [[Philadelphia Museum of Art]], serving as is chairman in 1976. He bequested his art collection to the museum in 1986, in memory of his mother, Frances Plumer McIlhenny.
Van Gogh painted a similar rainy landscape, ''[[Landscape at Auvers in the Rain]]'' (F811), at [[Auvers-sur-Oise]] in July 1890, shortly before his death. That painting was bought by [[Gwendoline Davies]] at Paris in 1920, and she bequeathed to the [[National Museum of Wales]] in 1952.
