February 1888:
Vincent Van Gogh makes a bold move…
Tired of the gray Parisian winters, Van Gogh heads south to Arles, dreaming of sunlight, color, and artistic freedom.
‘The whole future of art is to be found in the South.’ – Van Gogh
Vincent believed the warm light of Arles would transform his work.
In just over a year, Van Gogh painted
200+
artworks—his most iconic, including
Sunflowers
and
The Café Terrace at Night.
He rented the ‘Yellow House,’ hoping to create an artists’ retreat. One artist joined him—Paul Gauguin.
It didn’t end well.
Arles was both a breakthrough and a breaking point.
Brilliant paintings, but also deep struggles with mental health.
