Self-Portrait by Vincent van Gogh
Musée d'Orsay, Paris
Vincent van Gogh was born on the 30th of March, 1853 in Zundert, the Netherlands. Born to an upper-middle class family, his life pursuit of painting was supported by his younger brother Theo van Gogh, an art dealer in Paris, France. Throughout his life, Vincent suffered bouts of mental illness. He tragically passed away in Auvers-sur-Oise, a small commune north of France. Even though he actively painted for a mere nine years, he is arguably the most influential artist in the impressionist, and modern culture at large.

Vincent van Gogh, who suffered through mental illness through much of his life, spent his final days in the artist village at Auvers-sur-Oise, under the care of physician and amateur painter, Dr. Gauchet. We would be laid to arrest in this town, followed shortly thereafter by his brother, Theo van Gogh. We recommend the van Gogh museum in the Netherlands' official website for more. My wife and I visited the town in July 2025, on my 29th birthday, to pay our respects and see the source of inspiration for many of his greatest paintings. Nearby is a photo album of what we saw, and below are a few samples.
This exhibit at the Musée d'Orsay in Paris was focused on the final days of his life. From May 20, 1890 to July 29, 1890, Vincent van Gogh produced 74 paintings and 33 drawings at Auvers-sur-Oise.
The Morozov brothers were pre-revolution Russian art collectors. In there private collection, which was on display at the Louis Vuitton Foundation, you will find some works of Monet and van Gogh.
Claude Monet, born in Paris, France on the 14th of November, 1840, is regarded as the father of the impressionist movement. Raised in Normandy, he was inspired to capture the French countryside in his paintings. His famous residence in Giverny, north of Paris, is the source of much of his inspirations. This includes his series Water Lilies, which can be found in museums the world over We start with some paintings at the Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art in New York City.
The three nearby paintings are located at the Tel Aviv Art Museum.

On 17 November 1890, Monet purchased this garden in Giverny, where he would spend the rest of his life. This garden is home to spectacular scenes of nature. Many of the flowers and imagery inspired his works, including the water lilies series. I recommend the thorough Wikipedia page on the topic for more. Now, the garden is a tourist attraction. My wife and I visited in May of 2025. Nearby is a link to our photo album of the garden. Below are few of the photos, to serve as an appetizer.
The Musée de l'Orangerie located in the Jardin des Tuileries along the Seine in Paris is home to a collection of Monet's Water Lilies. The pieces there occupy entire walls; the observer is recommended to to mediate and reflect upon the waters. The other rooms are dedicated to both temporary and permanent exhibits of works by other artists. In the nearby photo album, you will find pictures taken over a course of several visits. Below, you can find a few samples of these tranquil pieces.
