Hall 413 is devoted to the famous Post-Impressionist painter Vincent van Gogh. On display are works of different genres dating from his late period – from those created in 1888 in the southern French town of Arles (Provence) to ones painted in Auvers near Paris in 1890, during the last months of the artist’s life.
Among the paintings executed at Saint-Remy, where the artist was undergoing treatment in a mental clinic is the picture entitled Lilac Bush (1889) – one of the artist’s finest works, which conveys both a sense of the power of the vital force and a passionate emotional perception of the drama of existence.
