Van Gogh's Shelter: The Hospital Saint-Paul-de-Mausole in Saint-Rémy
January 12, 2025 |
In 1889, Vincent Van Gogh admitted himself to the Hospital Saint-Paul-de-Mausole in Saint-Rémy, France following a mental health crisis, during which he cut off his earlobe. The hospital proved to be a source of solace and inspiration for Van Gogh, where he created over 150 paintings during his yearlong stay. In this talk, Teio Meedendorp, of Amsterdam's Van Gogh Museum, will discuss the history of the Hospital Saint-Paul and the magnificent body of work, including the Getty Irises, that Van Gogh made in and around the Hospital’s premises.
