Program Description

Event Details

Vincent Van Gogh spent the last two months of his life in Auvers-sur-Oise, FR before his death in July, 1890. He was at his most prolific period in this last residence and some of his best works come from this brief period such as “Wheatfield with Crows,” “Tree Roots,” “Daubigny’s Garden,” “The Church at Auvers,” “View of Auvers-sur-Oise,” and multiple “Portraits of Dr. Gachet.” This lecture focuses exclusively on the prolific creative burst of life and energy Van Gogh demonstrated just prior to his death at age 37. This is also the subject of an international traveling exhibition that began in Amsterdam’s Van Gogh Museum in 2023 and will conclude in Paris’s Musee D’Orsay in February, 2024. Professor Thomas Germano will present this visual lecture.
