Vincent van Gogh: His Life in Art brings together more than 50 masterworks by Post-Impressionist painter Vincent Van Gogh (1853–1890) through four key stages of his career: his early years in the Netherlands; his luminous period in Paris; his search for light and color in the South of France; and his exploration of nature as a source of enduring inspiration in Saint-Rémy and Auvers. The exhibition showcases portraits, landscapes, and still lifes drawn primarily from the collections of the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam and the Kröller-Müller Museum in Otterlo, the Netherlands.
