Seven Lesser-Known Van Gogh Paintings Highlighted in DailyArt Magazine Feature
DailyArt Magazine highlighted seven of Van Gogh's lesser-known works: Recumbent Nude (1887, Kröller-Müller Museum), Girl in a Wood (1882, Kröller-Müller Museum), The Dance Hall in Arles (1888, Musée d'Orsay), The Raising of Lazarus (after Rembrandt) (1890, Van Gogh Museum), Torso of Venus (1886, Van Gogh Museum), Head of a Skeleton with a Burning Cigarette (1886, Van Gogh Museum), and Flowering Plum Orchard (after Hiroshige) (1887, Van Gogh Museum). This collection reflects his artistic journey from his early Dutch phase to his later years in France, illustrating his influences from Impressionism, cloisonnism, and Japanese art. The piece features a quote from a letter he wrote to Theo in September 1888, in which he referred to Japanese art as 'almost a new religion.'
