Oever met bomen
Über das Gemälde
In 1886, Van Gogh moved to Paris to familiarise himself in the painting style of the French Impressionists. This painting reflects his experimentation with their bright vibrant colours, short brushstrokes, and modern compositions. The scene is a close-up of a bank of the Seine River near Asnières, a town northeast of Paris. Van Gogh enjoyed painting there during the summer of 1887.

Derweil im Leben von Vincent van Gogh
Das ganze LebenFebruary 1886
Moves to Paris to join his brother Theo
Van Gogh left Antwerp to join his brother Theo, an art dealer, in Paris. So began a very fruitful and eventful Paris period: he painted some two hundred and thirty pictures there, more than anywhere else.
November 1887
Friendship with Paul Gauguin
Theo and Vincent befriended Paul Gauguin, who had just arrived in Paris.
February 1888
To Arles, dreaming of a “Studio of the South”
The public still neither accepted nor bought his paintings, and in February 1888 Van Gogh left for Arles in the south of France to found a “Studio of the South”, a brotherhood of like-minded artists in which he gave Gauguin the leading role. Theo backed the plan with money.
23 October 1888
Gauguin arrives in Arles
After much pleading Gauguin arrived in Arles, and in November the two painted together: Gauguin portrayed Van Gogh in “The Painter of Sunflowers”, and their first joint outing was to the Alyscamps. At Gauguin's suggestion Vincent painted from memory, producing “Memory of the Garden at Etten”.
23 December 1888
The severed ear
After an altercation on the evening of 23 December, Van Gogh, seemingly hearing voices, severed his left ear, wholly or in part, with a razor and delivered it, wrapped in paper, to a woman at a brothel. Next morning a policeman found him unconscious; in hospital he was diagnosed with “acute mania with generalised delirium”.
