Amsterdam: Van Gogh Museum Skip-the-Line Private Tour – Amsterdam, Netherlands

EXPERIENCE:

This tour is catered for the real Van Gogh lovers. A private 2 hour long tour through the worlds most extensive collection of Van Gogh paintings and drawings.

In this tour we will dig deep into the life, art and inspiration of Vincent. You will learn why and how Van Gogh started taking up the brush at 27. Discover the importance of his beloved brother Theo in his life, and gain understanding about his relationships and his family. Van Gogh was tormented by his mental difficulties, learn how this shows, next to his genius and his temper, in his masterpieces such as ‘The Potato Eaters’, ‘The Sun Flowers’, ‘The Yellow House’ and ‘The Almond Blossom’.

Discover also his lesser known art works. For example one of his first paintings and the artworks he made in Brabant when he was still living with his parents till the age of 32. And learn how the Dutch 17th century still life paintings and Rembrandt influenced the artist.

You will gain a great understanding about his different artistic periods, for example his ‘dark period’ in Brabant, his experimental period in Paris, and his turbulent time with Gauguin in the yellow house in Arles. Vincent takes his own life at 37, his art dealer brother Theo dies a few months later. So who is the person who makes Vincent famous? Behind every success story of a man stands a great woman…

This tour is not only a tribute; a tour about Vincent is a tour about love, dedication, courage and brotherhood visible in every brushstroke.

* The Van Gogh museum houses the world’s largest collection of Van Gogh paintings. The extensive collection boasts more than 200 paintings and 500 drawings by the artist.
