Vincent van Gogh’s Turning Points: Van Gogh in the Netherlands

John Walsh Friday, October 5, 2018, 1:30 pm Born in the Netherlands in 1853 into a Dutch family of ministers (on his father’s side) and art dealers (on his mother’s side), van Gogh left school prematurely. He went to work for a firm of art dealers in The Hague and London, where he acquired some knowledge of art. His fervent social conscience almost led him into the ministry, but he resolved to become an artist instead. This lecture examines van Gogh’s drawings and paintings that depict life in the rural fringes of the Netherlands, his sojourn in The Hague to strengthen his skills, and his brief time as an art student in Antwerp, Belgium, before he moved to Paris. Generously sponsored by the John Walsh Lecture and Education Fund and the Martin A. Ryerson Lectureship Fund. Note: This lecture is the first in the series Vincent van Gogh’s Turning Points.
