Van Gogh: Masterpieces from the Kröller-Müller Museum, Palazzo Bonaparte, Rome: Until 7 May 2023

Through his most famous works - including his very famous Self-Portrait (1887) - the story of the most famous artist in the world is told.

Born in Holland on March 30, 1853, Vincent Van Gogh was an artist with an estranged sensitivity and a tormented life. Famous are his attacks of madness, the long hospitalizations in the psychiatric hospital of Saint Paul in Provence, the episode of the severed ear, as well as the epilogue of his life, which ends on July 29, 1890, at the age of only thirty-seven.

Despite a life steeped in tragedy, Van Gogh paints a shocking series of Masterpieces, accompanying them with sublime writings (the famous "Letters" to his brother Theo Van Gogh).

The exhibition in Rome, through 50 works from the prestigious Kröller Müller Museum in Otterlo - which houses one of the greatest collections of Van Gogh's works - and many biographical testimonies, reconstructs his human and artistic story, to celebrate his universal greatness.
