The Journey
Brabant
Delve into Van Gogh's 'dark period' in Brabant, Netherlands, where he began his artistic journey. Experience the landscapes that inspired his early works, characterized by muted tones and depictions of peasant life. Visit the Van Gogh Village Nuenen, an open-air museum showcasing locations significant to his time there, including the reformed church (exterior) featured in one of his paintings. Understand the origins of his deep empathy for the working class, which fueled masterpieces like 'The Potato Eaters.'
Paris
Experience Van Gogh's experimental period in Paris, where he encountered Impressionism and other avant-garde movements that transformed his palette and style. Explore the vibrant streets and artistic hubs where he mingled with artists like Toulouse-Lautrec and Émile Bernard. Visit the Musée d'Orsay, housing an exceptional collection of Van Gogh's Parisian works, and imagine his fervent artistic explorations that led to his signature expressive brushstrokes.
Arles
Step into the world of Van Gogh's turbulent time in Arles, in the South of France, and the iconic 'Yellow House,' where he hoped to establish an artist's community with Gauguin. Visit the rebuilt site of the Yellow House (it was bombed during WWII), the location of the 'Café Terrace at Night' (Place du Forum), and the hospital garden depicted in 'Courtyard of the Hospital in Arles'. Experience the intense artistic collaboration and subsequent breakdown that marked this period, shaping some of his most emotionally charged and recognizable masterpieces.
