Did you know?
Vincent van Gogh painted 'Les Alyscamps' during a pivotal and intense period alongside Paul Gauguin in Arles. Although both artists depicted the same historic avenue, their approaches highlighted their contrasting styles and deepening artistic differences. Van Gogh's version, with its characteristic thick impasto and vivid palette, captures the vibrant energy and transient beauty of the autumn season.
