A century after acquiring its first Van Gogh, the UK’s National Gallery hosted it’s biggest and most successful Van Gogh exhibit.This film provides the only way to see what Forbes called “a once-in-a-lifetime exhibition”. The picture quality is entrancing; every brushstroke and ridge of impasto is reproduced with extraordinary fidelity. Tracing Van Gogh’s journey from his early years in the Netherlands to his prolific period in France, the film shines a light on the events and people that shaped his evolution as a painter. Through readings from Van Gogh’s own letters, viewers are drawn into the artist’s inner world describing colors and compositions, and where longing, hope, and despair gave rise to masterpieces that would ultimately redefine the boundaries of post-Impressionism.
