Did you know?
The Yellow House held immense significance for Van Gogh, as it was his dream of establishing a 'Studio of the South' where artists could live and work together. He eagerly awaited Paul Gauguin's arrival there, envisioning a vibrant artistic community. Although this period was intensely productive, it tragically culminated in their famous quarrel and Van Gogh's self-mutilation.
