Discover Arles Through the Letters of Vincent Van Gogh - Clone
Short Description
Soak up Arles as you follow its mail carrier street by street, down to the river and into the meadows, showing you the places that inspired the vibrant brush of Vincent Van Gogh. Live a long moment by its slow rhythms under brilliant sun and warmth, far from the hustle of gray Paris that he fled. Feel the brightness illuminate your path over the warmed stones of the lanes of this sleepy town where the genius painted. Through his brush he immortalized its workers - men and women- its seasons, its countryside and its waterways with such care, respect and striking talent.
Stroll along the streets he walked, with the mail carrier as guide, while she delivers letters to the townsfolk he knew. See the sights he himself saw, including the hospital he turned to after his shattered genius led him to slice off his ear
While you follow the postal route, the artist will come alive for you through the frank yet poetic writings traded between Vincent and his brother Theo. In his own vivid but humble words, you will learn of his days and nights, his family, his money worries, his health, and his unquiet mind. But you will also learn of his art, his ideals and his philosophy, all through the letters he exchanged with his brother, the last one found in his pocket the day he took his own life.
As the mail carrier brings your visit to an end she will deliver a letter addressed to you personally, one of Vincent’s, painted with his words much as he painted with colors, a letter that you will open again time after time, long after you will have left Arles, an unforgettable memory of a town and the painter who loved it.
Summary
Step back to Montmartre as its painters knew it. Guided by their color merchant you can experience the Bohemian charm of the quarter these 19th century geniuses called home.
Breathe in the air of Arles that inspired 300 masterpieces in the 16 months. The mail carrier will tell you of the town that meant so much to Van Gogh, houses and fields and, above all, light.
