March 27, 2015

On July 29 it will be 125 years since Dutch painter Vincent van Gogh shot himself in France. A whole host of events are being organised to coincide with the commemorations, from exhibitions to bike tours. Here’s a list of 10 places associated with the Dutch master, who was unappreciated in his lifetime but is now considered one of the greatest painters who ever lived. 1 Zundert (1853) Vincent was born in Zundert (http://www.vangoghhuis.com/), in the province of Noord­Brabant. His father, Theodorus van Gogh, was a protestant minister who although well­liked was not considered a very inspirational preacher.
