A newly launched Vincent Van Gogh exhibition at London’s National Gallery has garnered exceptional reviews from critics. Leading publications such as The Guardian, The Telegraph, Time Out, and The Times have all awarded the exhibition a perfect five-star rating.
The exhibition, which opens on September 14, showcases over 60 works by the renowned Dutch artist, who passed away in 1890 at the age of 37. Entitled Poets and Lovers, the show includes a notable piece, a Sunflowers painting that has remained in the United States since its acquisition in 1935.
The Times described the exhibition as a “once-in-a-century” event, while The Guardian praised it as a “riveting rollercoaster ride from Arles to the stars.”
Significantly, the exhibition features this Sunflowers painting as part of a triptych that also includes another Sunflowers work and La Berceuse, a painting depicting a maternal figure. Van Gogh had originally proposed this arrangement to his brother, Theo, before his death.
Dr. Gabriele Finaldi, Director of the National Gallery, highlighted that this is the gallery’s first exhibition solely dedicated to Van Gogh. He also commended the “astoundingly generous” contributions from museums and collectors that have made this presentation possible.
