Van Gogh Museum 4K Virtual Tour || Exhibition ‘Van Gogh along The Seine'


‘And when I painted landscape in Asnières this summer I saw more colour in it than before.’
Vincent van Gogh to his sister Willemien van Gogh, late October 1887

Walk through the Van Gogh Museum's exhibition 'Van Gogh along The Seine'.
The museum informs us that - "In the 19th century, bridges and trains made it easier to visit places outside of Paris. And yet smoking factory chimneys increasingly dominated the horizon. This exhibition reveals how artists captured these changes in their artworks."

 On view at the Van Gogh Museum from 13 October until 2023 14 January 2024.

From the Van Gogh Museum:

"Vincent van Gogh lived in Auvers-sur-Oise from 20 May 1890 until his death on 29 July of the same year. He was tremendously productive in these months and made several of his most renowned masterpieces, including 'Wheatfield with Crows' and 'Tree Roots'. In the anniversary year of 2023, the Van Gogh Museum and Musée d’Orsay are organizing a major exhibition about the final months of Vincent van Gogh’s life, which he spent in the French village of Auvers-sur-Oise.

Happy Birthday Vincent Van Gogh!




I've loved this episode of doctor Who since it first aired in 2010. In the episode, the time traveling Doctor and his companion meet the artist Vincent Van Gogh in the past and bring him to an exhibition of his work at the Musee d'Orsay in 2010. Van Gogh sees that his artwork lives on and is cherished by many, including an art curator played by Bill Nighy.

More on - How a very special Doctor Who scene captured the hearts of fans, as told by those who made it - at the link below.
