The National Gallery in London will celebrate the 200th anniversary of Vincent van Gogh's birth with a year-long festival of art, creativity, and imagination across the UK and worldwide. A key exhibition, 'Van Gogh: Poets and Lovers,' runs from September 14, 2024, to January 19, 2025. It brings together beloved paintings from global collections—some rarely seen—paired with extraordinary drawings, illuminating his creative process and inspirations. The show focuses on the two years van Gogh spent in southern France (Arles and Saint-Rémy), where he revolutionized his style into a symphony of color and poetic texture, inspired by poets, writers, and artists. Highlights include 'Starry Night over the Rhône' (1888, Musée d'Orsay), 'The Yellow House' (1888, Van Gogh Museum), 'Sunflowers' (1888), and 'Van Gogh's Chair' (1889).
