What beautiful mastery of plants, leaves and trees, flowers also. If you are or if you are plaaning a trip to Paris... And the Musée d'Orsay is full of treasures,... linger is a joy.

  As Vincent Van Gogh Grew Darker, His Works Did Too, Study Says

  02/28/2016

  You probably know that Vincent van Gogh created a painting in the late 19th century called "Bedroom in Arles." It depicts the Dutch artist's electric blue quarters in what's known as his Yellow House, located, yes, in Arles, France. 

  You may also know that van Gogh actually created three versions of the now iconic bedroom image -- the first in October 1888, the second and third in September 1889. Van Gogh, taken with the original, decided to make the two subsequent renditions after learning that water damage threatened the integrity of the original. The three are currently on view together for the first time in North America at the Art Institute of Chicago.

  Van Gogh's three "Bedrooms in Arles" are on view at the Art Institute of Chicago until May 10, 2016.
