Vincent, the Misunderstood Genius?

When he was alive, Vincent was considered to be crazy and a failure as an artist. However, in the years that followed his tragic death, his artistic genius started to be recognised. As you make your way through the museum, our guide will share the stories of Van Gogh’s life, giving you an insight as to why Vincent’s story has inspired so many.

You will hear what Van Gogh was like as a person, from his own written words and those of his trusted confidente, his brother Theo. How well did Vincent get on with the rest of his family? Who were his friends? What made him decide to paint? How did he create such vivid paintings? Was he mad or just misunderstood.

This is reflected in Vincent’s artwork. From the famous Sunflowers, his intimate self-portraits, and beautiful Blossom Trees, nature is always at the forefront.

This small group tour will answer many questions, including why is his art so important? How did he arrive at his famously bold colours and impulsive brushwork? How did Van Gogh become one of the most celebrated painters of post-impressionism? You’ll discover this and much more as you make your way through the entire museum. You will see for yourself why the Van Gogh Museum is one of the most visited places in the Netherlands
