Vincent van Gogh’s time in the south of France marked a period of great creativity and productivity for the Dutch Post-Impressionist artist. Leaving behind the hustle and bustle of Paris in 1888, van Gogh sought solace in the serene landscapes of the French countryside. Over the next two tumultuous years, he produced hundreds of breathtaking paintings that showcased his experimentation with bold colors and new techniques.

A new exhibition at London’s National Gallery, titled “Van Gogh: Poets and Lovers,” delves into the artist’s work from 1888 to 1990. As he moved between various residences in Arles and a psychiatric hospital in Saint-Rémy, van Gogh created some of his most famous and moving works. The exhibition, curated by experts Emily LaBarge and Cornelia Homburg, aims to highlight van Gogh’s creative development during this period rather than focusing solely on his mental health struggles.

One of the highlights of the exhibition is the recreation of van Gogh’s Yellow House in Arles, where he painted some of his most celebrated pieces. The show features meticulously curated displays of his work, offering visitors a glimpse into the artist’s original arrangements over a century ago. Notable pieces include “Starry Night over the Rhône” and “The Bedroom,” which are displayed alongside lesser-known works depicting olive trees, landscapes of southern France, and the gardens of the psychiatric hospital where van Gogh spent time.

The exhibition also honors van Gogh’s wish to bring together three of his masterpieces in a striking triptych. Two of his iconic sunflower paintings, each set against a different backdrop, flank “The Lullaby,” a serene portrait of a woman seated in a chair. This display symbolizes van Gogh’s desire to create art that brings comfort and solace to those who view it.

Securing loans for the exhibition was no easy feat, as the paintings traveled from different museums around the world. Despite the challenges, the curators managed to bring together a collection of more than 50 artworks, showcasing the breadth and depth of van Gogh’s creative output during his time in the south of France.

“Van Gogh: Poets and Lovers” is open to the public at the National Gallery in London until January 19, 2025. The exhibition offers a unique opportunity to explore van Gogh’s artistic journey during a transformative period in his life, shedding light on the artist rather than the tortured soul often overshadowed by his struggles.
