Vincent van Gogh moved from Paris to the city of Arles in the Provence on 20 February 1888. While Vincent loved painting motifs such as fruit orchards, cypresses, olive trees, wheat fields and haystacks, he also wanted to develop his skills as a portrait painter. In Paris he was very short on money and couldn’t pay models who would pose for him. In Arles he met people who were prepared to model for him such as postal official Joseph Roulin and his family. Vincent also made several portraits of Madame Ginoux. She and her husband were the owners of Café de la Gare. Vincent rented a room at the establishment shortly after his arrival in Arles. During his time in Arles the couple and Vincent were close friends and Madame Ginoux took care of Vincent when his mental health deteriorated and he had to be hospitalised. The first two portraits that he made of Madame Ginoux are in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Musée d’Orsay, picture 3. The almost identical works depict her seated in an armchair, somewhat absentminded and with an eye popping yellow background. This portrait is part of a series of five similar works in which she gazes upon us directly. The green table and pink background have a much more pleasing effect. While one of the paintings is lost, the others are in the Kröller-Müller Museum, Otterlo, the Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea, Rome, the Museu de Arte, São Paulo, and one in a private collection. The portraits weren’t made in Arles however. They were made at the Asylum of Saint-Paul-de-Mausole in Saint-Rémy where Vincent stayed from May 1889 until May 1890. He based them on a drawing that Gauguin had made. The books on the table are: Harriet Beecher Stowe’s Uncle Tom’s Cabin and Charles Dickens’ Christmas Stories.

Paul Cézanne,, painted portraits, still lifes and several famous series on subjects such as Mont Sainte-Victoire, the Provencal landscape, bathers and men playing cards. His non-objective approach and focus on formal aspects was met with harsh criticism at the time. Cézanne’s new take on perspective, form and brushwork proved very popular with his contemporaries however and it influenced a new generation of artists in the 20th century. The development of the Cubism by Braque and Picasso is unthinkable without Cézanne’s work. This painting, with its beautiful blue, green, pink and ochre earth tones, is part of a series that Cézanne made of bathers which culminated in three large bathing paintings that are in the collection of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the National Gallery in London and The Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia. The free and sketchy execution of the female bathers is a great example of the stylistic efforts made by Cézanne to capture a subject according to his own artistic principles, not academic, realist or impressionist ones. The theme however refers to classical texts and renaissance and baroque art works in which, mostly female figures, such as nimphs and goddesses, are bathing or making their toilette in a landscape near a stream. Cézanne also produced bathing scenes where relaxing and active men are the focal point.

To say Pablo Picasso was an innovative artist would be an understatement. He had an unmeasurable impact on the development of painting, sculpture, printmaking and ceramics in 20th-century European art. Picasso’s oeuvre shows us his constant drive to reinvent himself and explore new ways of making art. From his Blue Period when he painted the less fortunate in life in various shades of blue and green, to his more colorful and lighter Rose Period in which he featured harlequins, the circus and the Commedia dell’arte. And from his Cubo-Surrealist works in which he deconstructs and rearranges forms and facial features, to his Neo Classical period in which he emphasizes a linear approach. In this portrait he depicts photographer and painter Dora Maar who is praised for her innovative photomontages and for her important contribution to the surrealist movement. The two artists met in Paris in 1935 and became involved. They worked together and inspired each other. He made numerous portraits of her in his Cubo Surrealist style and she introduced him to photographic techniques and documented the progress of his Guernica in pictures. The portrait is one of several works in which Picasso depicts Maar seated with multiple perspectives, bold colors and distorted features. Picasso’s most famous portrayal of Maar is captured in his Weeping Woman in which the deformation of her face is extreme and even unsettling. After their intens relationship Maar focused more and more on painting. In recent years multiple exhibitions have celebrated Maar’s impressive oeuvre and contributions to photography.

Gustave Caillebotte,, is probably my favorite modern painter at turn of the 20th century. Although he is primarily associated with impressionism, he often blends realist and Academic elements into his art works. His wonderful oeuvre is extremely varied and consists of portraits, still lifes, landscapes, interiors, genre scenes and sport scenes of outdoor activities such as swimming and rowing. While he participated in most impressionist exhibitions, he is more praised for his role in organizing them. Caillebotte was an avid art collector and patron who backed and promoted many of his impressionist friends and colleagues. He bought multiple art works from famous artists such as Degas, Monet, Renoir and Cézanne and he fiercely defended the much criticized impressionist aesthetic. My favorite work is without a doubt The Floor Planers. My favorite series is where he depicts the houses, the streets, the bridges and the people of Paris as seen in Paris Street, Rainy Day. Caillebotte loved outdoor sports, especially the ones in and around the water. Between 1877 and 1879 he spent a lot of time at his family’s estate outside Paris along the river Yerres. Here he made a series of men swimming, rowing, fishing, canoeing and boating. Caillebotte also loved boating himself. He participated successfully in regattas and designed and build yachts and sailing boats too. Although Manet, Monet and Renoir frequently depicted boats and boating as a leisure activity, they gave equal attention to the landscape. In works by Caillebotte, the sport is central with interesting perspectives and a great affinity for the male physique.

The outstanding exhibition “Monet on the Normandy Coast, The Discovery of Étretat” takes visitors on a fascinating expedition to the beautiful French coast. Through multifaceted chapters on the one hand and over 170 artworks and artefacts on the other hand the show explores how the small fishing village of Étretat in Normandy was instrumental in the development of modern art and photography and became a major tourist destination. From the Romantic era up until today, painters, writers and tourists are in awe of its stunning coastline with spectacular white chalk cliffs, rock formations and iconic natural arches. The Städel Museum in Frankfurt am Main shows the cultural and historical significance of Étretat and unravels in the process how the town reached the status of myth in the 19th century.
While the show presents multiple themes and artists that are inextricably linked to Étretat, there are 3 chapters that stood out to me. The first is devoted to realist painter Gustave Courbet. The exhibition presents 8 of his iconic wave paintings. In these seascapes, Courbet depicts a stormy sky and thunderous waves crashing upon the shore. The impactful works capture the beauty and power of nature. The second chapter I want to mention is about photography. In the 1850’s wealthy tourists experimented freely with the new medium in Étretat. The many photos on display not only document the landscape, the local population and the rise of tourism in the town, they also show how amateur photographers paved the way for photography to be a recognised art form. And the third chapter puts a huge spotlight on Claude Monet. Étretat inspired Monet to experiment and develop a revolutionary new painting style we now call Impressionism. He also started to paint series of a single subject here that were created under various light and weather conditions and at different times of the day.
There is so much to see and discover in this must see show. Check the highlight on my feed for an in depth story. For tickets and more info please visit
The show is on view until 5th July 2026.
Painter and printmaker Camille Pissarro,, was essential in the development and promotion of the Impressionist style. Often overlooked because of the towering status of Monet and Renoir, Pissarro’s love for plein air painting, role in founding and organising the eight Impressionist exhibitions, rejection of the Salon, experimental nature and mentorship of artists such as Cézanne and Gauguin has led many artists and scholars to address him as The Father of Impressionism. With the depiction of landscapes, gardens, orchards, farmers and vegetable plots, Pissarro expressed his humble character, his love for nature and his preference for honest subjects. They were perfect motifs for plein air painting and capturing the seasons with different light and weather conditions. Pissarro’s strong preference for landscapes and dedication to paint according to Impressionist ideals doesn’t exclude his drive for renewal and experiment. Between 1885 and 1889 he adopts a Neo Impressionist technique developed by Seurat and Signac. And he painted a series of famous cityscapes in which the city of Paris takes center stage. Between February and April in 1897, Pissarro rented a hotel room in the Grand Hôtel de Russie. During this time he focused on Boulevard Montmartre at least fourteen times. A year later in early 1898 he settled before a window in his room at the Grand Hôtel du Louvre and captured La Place du Théâtre Français en L’avenue de l’Opera at least fifteen times. This painting was made during several stays in the apartment that Pissarro rented at place Dauphine on the Île de la Cité. From the window he captures the banks of the Seine, the bridges and parts of the Louvre with impasto brushwork. The soft colouring, the bright sunlight and the pink blossoming trees tell us that spring is in the air.

During his stay at the Hospital of Saint-Paul-de-Mausole in Saint-Rémy from May 1889 until May 1890 Vincent continued to paint and draw. While the garden was his main topic in the first few months, Vincent later was allowed to explore the countryside by himself to paint a number of his favorite subjects such as fruit orchards, olive trees, cypresses and golden wheat fields that allowed him to experiment with bold color contrasts and highly expressive brushwork. What all these series have in common is that the subjects demonstrate his love for nature and the seasons. This painting combines two of his favorite subjects: cypress trees and wheatfields. Vincent was fascinated with the tall trees that are so typical of the Provence region. He made at least thirteen paintings that feature them prominently and compared their form to Egyptian obelisks. Wheat fields and haystacks resonated on a personal level for him. Farmers sowing and reaping was a subject that Vincent explored from the beginning until the very end of his artistic career. It demonstrates his love for rural areas and the people who live there. This work was probably painted in June 1889, just shortly after his arrival in Saint-Rémy. Vincent made several versions of the work of which the one in Kunsthaus Zürich and the one in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York are considered to be studies. The final version is this one in the National Gallery in London.

As one of the most important impressionist painters, Pierre Auguste Renoir,, captured living and leisure in a modern society and the beauty of nature in a wide variety of subjects. From portraits, still lifes, landscapes and interiors to genre scenes. Renoir produced works that are among the most popular works in art history, such as Luncheon of the Boating Party and Bal Du Moulin de la Galette. He is praised by critics and the public for his ability to paint the effects of sunlight. His brushwork and coloring are loved but also ridiculed sometimes today by contemporary audiences. Renoir painted many portraits of his friends and family on the one hand and he received many portrait commissions in the 1870s and 80s on the other hand. This lovely work is a double portrait of Marie-Thérèse and Jeanne Durand-Ruel. The fourteen and twelve year old girls are daughters of the famous art dealer Paul Durand-Ruel. After promoting artists from the Romantic era such as Eugène Delacroix, the School of Barbizon such as Jean Baptiste Corot and realist painters such as Gustave Courbet, Durand-Ruel predominantly focused on the new Impressionist style. He famously defended and championed Impressionism and found buyers, especially in the United States, without the constricting rules of The Salon. His biggest clients were Renoir, Claude Monet and Camille Pissarro. In August 1882 Renoir stayed with Durand-Ruel in Dieppe who asked him to paint portraits of his children. Besides the double portrait of Marie-Thérèse and Jeanne, Renoir also painted a double portrait of his sons Charles and George, now in a private collection. The portrait of his eldest son Joseph is also in a private collection.

Often labeled as the most technically gifted artist of his time, British artist Joseph Mallord William Turner,, is acknowledged as one of the most important and innovative landscape painters in art history. While he is predominantly known and described as a landscape artist, Turner also made seascapes, riverscapes and cityscapes. He executed them in oil paintings, watercolors, drawings, sketches and prints. As a true innovator, he made all these genres completely his own. Turner infused his atmospheric paintings with weather phenomena such as fierce storms and sunsets, with historical, mythological and biblical references and with modern elements regarding transport, technology and industry. Turner’s compositions are often based on the many drawings he made during his travels. He combined them with great freedom which resulted in balanced, yet often topographically incorrect end results. Although Turner started in a detailed and dark academic style, he developed an expressive technique in which formal aspects such as color, light and gestural brushwork are more important than the objective representation of the natural world. The full title of this work is “Wreckers - Coast of Northumberland, with a Steam-Boat Assisting a Ship off Shore”. While a steamboat tries to help a sailboat in a menacing storm, wreckers on the beach are gathering to collect any valuable goods that will be washed upon the shore. The fortification in the background on the left is Dunstanborough Castle on the coast of Northumberland. The painting was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1834 and received critical acclaim.
This mesmerising painting is on view in the show Water and Light until 14 June 2026. Check the highlight on my feed for an in-depth story on this exhibition. Last days, so catch it if you can.

Henri Rousseau,, did not care about art movements, theory or conventions about perspective, modeling and shading. Without any formal artistic training he created his own unique visual language. Although Rousseau was often ridiculed by critics and his peers, he persevered and became one of the most popular modern artists. He produced portraits, landscapes, cityscapes, still lifes, genre scenes and allegories. Rousseau is best known however for his tropical jungle scenes filled with colorful trees, plants, flowers and wild animals ready to attack. While he tried to convince people they were inspired by his visit to Mexico when he was in the French army, it is more likely he acquired his knowledge of the jungle by visiting Botanical Gardens in Paris and looking at pictures in magazines and children’s books. This work doesn’t feature a vicious tiger or a dangerous lion hunting prey, it focuses on woman who is out for a walk. Dressed to the nines you would imagine her strolling the boulevards of Paris. Rousseau however places her in a tropical environment with oversized flowers, plants and fruit. And while the woman pops out of the foliage, just like the animals in other paintings, the result is much more lighthearted than other jungle scenes. Because he defies logic and reason regarding accurate proportions and the combination of elements in the composition, Rousseau seems to foreshadow surrealist art.
