press release

Due to changing presentations of the collection, fewer Van Gogh paintings than usual have been on display recently. But with Vincent is back, these are once again restored to their familiar prominent positions in the heart of the museum. The presentation has been renewed. Vincent is back consists of two parts: Native soil and Land of light. Native soil focuses on Van Gogh’s Dutch period (1881-1886), in which he painted peasant life as a novice artist. In this first presentation, which is on display from 24 November 2012 until 1 April 2013, the emphasis is on Van Gogh’s Native soil, with the darker, earthy paintings and the drawings he made during his early days as an artist. Due to their sensitivity to light, these drawings are only rarely exhibited.
