Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890) is a world-famous artist. He lived in more than 20 different locations in Europe. His works of art are dispersed over the world.
The origins of this master lie in Brabant. He lived here for half his life. Wherever he was, Vincent was always homesick for Brabant. Vincent’s love
for the farmland, the countryside and the lives of the simple folk originated in this southern province of the Netherlands. These are the themes that run
thorough the sketches in his letters, his drawings and his paintings. Whether he was working in Amsterdam, the Hague, Brussels, London, the Borinage, Drenthe, Antwerp, Paris, Arles, Saint-Rémy-de-Provence or Auvers-sur-Oise, Vincent was and remained a Brabant man.
