Descrizione

Vincent van Gogh created some of his most famous works during the time he spent in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence between 1889 and 1890, finding in its landscapes, light and culture a powerful source of inspiration.
This book reviews Saint-Rémy as it was at that time, as well as the vital and important welcome that Van Gogh received at the Saint-Paul hospice, which allowed him to paint freely despite his illness. It explores the subjects of his paintings, demonstrating the ways in which the town has continuously celebrated this heritage ever since. More than just another book on Van Gogh, this work brings together a collective memory and marks an entire town’s recognition for the man who transformed its destiny forever.
