A new look at Van Gogh, through the legacy of the largest private
collector of artworks by the Dutch painter: Helene Kröller-Müller
(1869-1939), who, in the early 20th Century, ended up buying nearly
300 of his works, paintings and drawings included. The story unfolds
of a woman who, in Van Gogh’s spiritual torment could recognize her
own, showing priceless artistic treasures and the rare, naturalistic
and architectural beauty of the Kröller-Müller Museum set in the
vast De Hoge Weluge park, as well as visual extracts of the Milanese,
Florentine, Roman and Palladian Renaissance. It tells the tormented,
existential parable of a painter, seen through passages from his
brother Theo’s letters, which set the pace of the exhibition, and
it shows images of the places he lived and stayed in, from Paris to
Provence.
