Van Gogh's Shelter: The Hospital Saint-Paul-de-Mausole in Saint-Rémy

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. This program was presented at the Getty Center and Online on Sunday, March 30, 2025, https://www.getty.edu/calendar/van-go..., and complements the exhibition Ultra-Violet: New Light on Van Gogh’s Irises, https://www.getty.edu/exhibitions/ult....
