    The perfect Van Gogh Museum guide

    A lavishly illustrated guide containing the most important highlights of the Van Gogh Museum

    The Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam houses the largest collection of Vincent van Gogh's paintings, drawings, letters and prints in the world. Written in an engaging style, this museum guide describes the masterpieces of the collection.

    In 2014 the Van Gogh museum redesigned the presentation of its permanent collection, putting more emphasis on the artist’s tortured life. You will be able to follow Van Gogh's development by seeing all of his great works, and will also get to know his personal ambitions, his emotions, the myths and his major influence on art until today. Although the display is basically chronological, the work has been arranged according to certain themes. As a visitor you can follow the on-going search of an extraordinary artist.

      ˃˃˃ In this guide you will be introduced to Van Gogh's masterpieces

      You will read about the basics and will discover some of the ideas and ambitions behind his art. For the purpose of clarity, we will stick to a chronological presentation, while discussing works by Van Gogh and by other artists separately. After briefly discussing the artist's life and work, the book not only focuses on Van Gogh's masterworks such as the Potato Eaters, the Sunflowers, the Irises and his Bedroom at the Yellow House in Arles, but also describes many of his less well-known paintings.

      Since Vincent van Gogh and his brother Theo collected work by their contemporaries, these are also on display at the Van Gogh Museum. The book contains pictures by Seurat, Signac, Pissarro, Lautrec, Gauguin and Bernard, some predecessors such as Millet and Breton, and modern artists that followed in his footsteps. This will show you the context, and the impact Van Gogh had on modern art.

      Highly recommended before visiting the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam
