Vincent Van Gogh, a true figure of Impressionism, spent the last years of his life in the charming, bucolic and restful village ofAuvers-sur-Oise, close to the capital. The surrounding fields and river lulled his imagination, resulting in some of his most famous paintings, nearly 74 in just 70 days. This autumn, the town celebrates the 170th anniversary of his birth, on the site of his final resting place, with an exhibition at the Château d'Auvers-sur-Oise, from October 7, 2023 to September 29, 2024.
To mark the occasion, the château's spaces have been completely redesigned to accommodate the representation of the painter's last journeys. Take a journey to the heart of France, from his Parisian years at his brother's, to his last stay in the Val-d'Oise, via his excursions to Arles and Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, through his works, which tell the story of his life and the landscapes that accompanied it. You can enter into the artist's creative process and his intimacy, discovering the personalities he rubbed shoulders with, as well as his dreams, hopes and torments.
A true exploration of a village dear to his heart, devoted to the last four years of his life, in a scenography combining digital technology and original works, both his own and those of his contemporaries.
Guided tours are offered on Sundays, March 3, 17 and 31, April 14, May 12, and 26, June 9 and 23, July 7 and 21, August 4 and 18, September 1ᵉʳ, 15 and 29 at 11:00 am. On Wednesdays April 10 and 17, a special family tour with the Colette odyssey route awaits young and old. Finally, on Saturday April 6 and June 15, lectures by exhibition curator Wouter Van der veen are on the program.
