Vincent Van Gogh’s artwork is taking London by storm with a new exhibition at the National Gallery receiving rave reviews from critics. The show, titled Poets and Lovers, features over 60 pieces painted by the Dutch artist, including iconic works like Starry Night over the Rhône and Sunflowers.
Critics from The Guardian, The Telegraph, Time Out, and The Times all awarded the exhibition five stars, with The Times calling it a “once-in-a-century” show and The Guardian describing it as a “riveting rollercoaster ride from Arles to the stars.”
The exhibition is significant as it includes a Sunflowers painting that has not traveled outside the United States since 1935, presented as part of a triptych with La Berceuse, a painting of a maternal figure. This presentation was suggested by Van Gogh himself to his brother before his death.
Dr. Gabriele Finaldi, the director of the National Gallery, expressed gratitude for the generosity of museums and collectors in lending their paintings for the show. Critics have praised the exhibition for its emotional depth and originality, with one reviewer stating that the paintings “ambush you and demand attention.”
Van Gogh: Poets and Lovers opens on 14 September and promises to be a mesmerizing display of the artist’s emotional and groundbreaking work. Don’t miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience the brilliance of Vincent Van Gogh at the National Gallery in London.
