Van Gogh: Poets & Lovers
Van Gogh: Poets & Lovers
Be blown away by Van Gogh’s most spectacular paintings in the National Gallery's once-in-a-century exhibition.
Walk with a pair of lovers beneath a starry night. Look up at swirling clouds and cypress trees swaying in the wind. Stay a while in Van Gogh’s favourite park, the ‘Poet’s Garden’, or under a shady tree in Saint-Rémy.
This is a collection of the most loved of Van Gogh’s paintings from across the globe, some of which are rarely seen in public, paired together with his extraordinary drawings.
Over just two years in the south of France, Van Gogh revolutionised his style in a symphony of poetic colour and texture. He was inspired by poets, writers and artists. This exhibition focuses on Van Gogh's time in Arles and Saint-Rémy as a decisive period in his career. His desire to tell stories produced a landscape of poetic imagination and romantic love on an ambitious scale.
See up-close his ‘Starry Night over the Rhône’ (1888, Musée d’Orsay) and ‘The Yellow House’ (1888, Van Gogh Museum), as well as The National Gallery's own ‘Sunflowers’ (1888) and ‘Van Gogh's Chair’ (1889), among many others.
