Did you know?
After moving to Paris in 1886, Van Gogh's palette brightened considerably under the influence of Impressionism and Neo-Impressionism. His brother Theo introduced him to artists like Pissarro and Seurat, whose work inspired him to experiment with lighter colors and more structured brushwork, a significant departure from his earlier Dutch period. This work from his Parisian period showcases his developing style before moving to Arles.
