Van Gogh in Trieste

After the 600,000 visitors in Rome, the major exhibition on Vincent Van Gogh arrives in Trieste at the Revoltella Museum. The exhibition will be further enriched by two exceptional guests, exhibited together for the first time: Monsieur and Madame Ginoux (better known as the Arlesians), iconic works reuniting in Trieste after 134 years.

From February 22nd to June 30th, 2024, the Municipality of Trieste and Arthemisia present an extraordinary exhibition dedicated to the most beloved artist of all time, Vincent Van Gogh.

The exhibition will be further enriched by a special presence: the two portraits of Monsieur and Madame Ginoux (the owners of the café in Arles frequented by Van Gogh), created in 1890, one of which is housed in the Kröller Müller Museum – lender of almost all the works in the exhibition – and the other at the Galleria Nazionale in Rome. On the occasion of the Trieste exhibition, the two spouses, friends and portraits by Van Gogh, will meet again and be able to be close once more.

In the exhibition in Trieste – curated by Maria Teresa Benedetti and Francesca Villanti and realized in collaboration with the Kröller-Müller Museum in Otterlo – over 50 masterpieces by Van Gogh will be displayed, with a selection of works from the prestigious Kröller-Müller Museum in Otterlo, which houses one of the largest collections of the artist's works.

The exhibition aims to document the entire artistic journey of the painter, starting from his passionate relationship with the dark landscapes of his youth, continuing with drawings and oils dedicated to the theme of weavers, to the works of his Parisian stay, depicting the landscape and moments of the artist's social life, and finally to the last paintings of St. Remy and Auvers-Sur-Oise, where he ended his troubled life.... read the rest of the article»
