Vincent van Gogh, a post-impressionist painter who was born in 1853 in the Netherlands, completed 860 oil paintings and more than 1,300 watercolors during his short life. Van Gogh’s bedroom in Arles, France was the site of much of his artistic creations, so much so that he created three similar paintings of his room, all known as The Bedroom.
For the first time in North America, all three of Van Gogh’s bedroom pieces will be on display at Chicago’s Art Institute. The display, located in the Institute’s Regenstein Hall, will open on February 14 and run through May 10.
