Choosing Vincent

Portrait of a Family History

This exhibition narrates a deeply personal tale of uncertainty, challenges, pride, and success, highlighting the dilemmas experienced by Vincent van Gogh, his brother Theo, Theo's wife Jo, and their son, named Vincent after his uncle. It also pays tribute to the Van Gogh family, underscoring their unconditional support for Vincent, which was pivotal for the creation of the museum. The exhibition features numerous masterpieces alongside lesser-known works, showcasing how this familial legacy evolved into a renowned collection.

Van Gogh and the Roulins. Together Again at Last

In less than two years, Vincent van Gogh created 26 portraits of a single family's members. A special bond formed between Van Gogh and the postman Joseph Roulin, his wife Augustine, and their three children while living in Arles, southern France. This connection resulted in one of the most outstanding portrait series in art history. The exhibition is presented in collaboration with the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, which holds two key works: Joseph Roulin and La Berceuse. Additional loans from the series come from prestigious institutions like the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Kröller-Müller Museum, the Stedelijk Museum, Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, and Museum Folkwang in Essen. With over twenty works loaned from prominent international collections, this exhibition provides a rare chance to view this series of iconic portraits together.
