Arles - The city Van Gogh loved...

by rich77 - last update: Feb 16, 2004

Van Gogh's air everywhere

Langlois Bridge, Arles, July 2002
It's very difficult to go to Arles and to not breathe the Van Gogh's air. In this region Vincent Van Gogh (1853-1890) spent the two last years of his life, painting masterpieces that made the story of the art.
This is the Langlois's Bridge, quite far from the centre of the city, with a plate that remembers us his painting of the march 1888.

...but also great buildings...

Arles is quite famous also for its buildings in romanic and provencal style, like the Eglise-St-Trophime or the Arena...

It is crossed by the Rhone and here it starts the region of the Camargue, a naturalistic regional park really amazing.

Van Gogh's Art

I made a travelogue with paintings of Van Gogh that portray the view of Arles I've seen. I hope you like it, Van Gogh is one of my favourite painters.

 Great photography, it must have been a beautiful day indeed. The lighting and angles were eye-catching.
