Saint-Rémy-de-Provence (F)
Van Gogh spent more than 14 months in the city of Arles. During this time, he became an “artist of the sun” creating his timeless masterpiece that portrayed the landscape of the Provence in vibrant colours. Here, he created nearly 200 paintings and 100 drawings including “Starry Night over the Rhône”. The “Yellow House” that he later rented in Arles became a hub for like-minded artists. Paul Gaugin was also a guest - with dramatic consequences. During their intense
conflict-ridden collaboration, Van Gogh developed a nervous disorder that led him to famously self mutilate his own ear.
