Vincent Van Gogh: Brothers
built 656 days ago
From 15 February the Van Gogh Museum presents John Everett Millais. Millais (1829-1896) was the foremost painter of the English Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood and Britain's most successful artist of the latter half of the 19th century.
After several "attacks", Van Gogh felt that he should leave Saint-Remy hospice. May 16, he left for Paris, where he stayed only a few days at his brother's home, before leaving on the 20th of May, as he could not stand any more the noise and agitation of the city, for Auvers where he entrusted to Dr. GACHET ,the friend of Impressionnist painters.
Vincent sensed that Gauguin was not happy and was fearful that he would leave. Having created such great expectations for this relationship, he was terrified of its failure. Theo's increasing attachment to Jo Bonger made it likely that relations with his brother would be changing too.

A young art lover, Jules Petroz, has recently discovered in a flea market a portrait which could be dated from the Parisian period of Van Gogh. If it was a self-portrait, it would be the fortieth. The small painting has character; dark coloured and the gaunt face could correspond to the artist's look when arrived in Paris, he was sheltered by his brother Theo.

Mauve and his friends would grow away from Vincent as he wanted to live together and marry an unmarried mother, His Hoornik, whom he had engaged as a model. He could then count only on material and moral support of his brother Théo, and, after a short stay at Drenthe in September 1883, loneliness pushes him to go back once more to his parents by December 1883, now installed at Nuenen (in the Brabant, close to Eindhoven), two years after having left them.
