Vincent Vangogh Timeless Country - Modern City

This volume examines Van Gogh’s art through two essential lenses: his love of the countryside and his fascination with the city. Celebrated for luminous landscapes and impassioned portraits, Van Gogh was both unconventional and deeply thoughtful, a trained dealer and fluent linguist whose ambition was matched by his restless doubts. These tensions—between tradition and modernity, solitude and society—shaped his life and work.

Featuring paintings, prints, and letters by Van Gogh alongside works by Cézanne, Gauguin, Millet, Seurat, Pissarro, and others, the book situates his oeuvre within a broader artistic dialogue. Published in conjunction with the exhibition at Complesso Monumentale del Vittoriano, it offers a vivid portrait of the artist’s dual attachments and enduring legacy.
