Van Gogh’s most spectacular paintings in a 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 little while in Van Gogh’s favourite park, the ‘Poet’s Garden’ or under a shady tree in Saint-Rémy.
The National Gallery is bringing together the most loved of Van Gogh’s paintings from across the globe, some of which are rarely seen in public. They will be paired together with his extraordinary drawings in a a spectacular exhibition from 14th September 2024 to 19th January 2025.
In just over 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. In 1888 Van Gogh left Paris and moved to Arles, a place that would go on to inspire the artist with its rural scenes and quality of light. One of the most famous works, 'The Yellow House (The Street)' will be on display. It features a house he lived in for just under 6 months, but which has come to be synonymous with Van Gogh and his time in the south of France.
Get swept up in Van Gogh's poetic visions and see up-close his ‘Starry Night over the Rhône’ (1888, Musée d’Orsay) as well as the ‘Sunflowers’ (1888) with another of the seven that he painted while in Arles, usually on display in Philadelphia.
Don't miss this incredible chance to see so many of Van Gogh's paintings and drawings in one space. It might be the big stars that draw you in - quite literally in the case of 'Starry Night over the Rhône' - but there's also the opportunity to fall in love with new favourites.
