A unique reconstitution... |
|
A scenographer
and a set designer have worked after the famous painting
to recreate the exact setting and particular atmosphere
of the room in which Vincent Van Gogh painted his most
remarkable paintings. Every little detail has been carefully
reproduced in a house only a few steps away from the famous "Maison
jaune", the yellow fronted house which was bombed
during the war. The whole idea is to recreate the feeling,
to fuel the emotion. It is a unique feeling to be in Vincent's
room.

A major piece of artwork... |

Vincent's
bedroom in Arles is one of the best known painting by one
of the most famous painter. The funny thing is that this
painting was Van Gogh's own favorite scene and that he
painted five versions of it : two sketches and three oil
paintings. Vincent's bedroom as it is has been redone after
the first of the three oil paintings, dated October 1888
and currently exhibited in the Van Gogh museum in Amsterdam.
The painter describe his room in detail in several letters
he wrote to his brother Theo. Another painting of his room
is exhibited in the Musee d'Orsay in Paris and the third
one is in the Art Institute of Chicago. The first painting
is considered to be the most accomplished because of its
vivid colours and elaborate technique. You are invited
to walk into this major piece of art history. |
