The paintings of Vincent Van Gogh

Available for over a year

In a rare interview, a member of the Van Gogh family talks about growing up in the shadow of the famous artist and playing as a child among some of Vincent Van Gogh's most iconic works. These paintings belonged to Vincent Van Gogh's only nephew who was just a few months old when his uncle died in July 1890. His grandson Willem Van Gogh tells Louise Hidalgo how for years the paintings hung in his grandfather's home, before his grandfather transferred the entire collection to the Dutch state to be housed in the Van Gogh museum in Amsterdam.
