‘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.
