Van Gogh Baltimore

We're moving things over to the global Beyond Van Gogh account 🌻

Follow us at Beyond Van Gogh for all things related to Van Gogh's arrival in Baltimore!

We're celebrating Mother's Day 2024 with a nod to the woman who was essential to Van Gogh's success, his mother Anna Carbentus Van Gogh.

A casual artist in her own right, Anna liked to paint (especially watercolor) and even gave Vincent drawing lessons during his youth!

The painting featured in this post, Portrait of the Artist's Mother, is actually based-upon a black-and-white photo of Vincent's mother he received from his sister Wilhelmina. Vincent discussed the painting in a letter to Theo, writing, "I am doing a portrait of Mother for myself. I cannot stand the colorless photograph, and I am trying to do one in a harmony of color, as I see her in my memory."

Happy birthday, Vincent! Van Gogh would be turning 171 today, how do you think he would have liked to celebrate?

We're so thankful for Vincent and his incredible contributions to art - the deep meaning of his work is a constant source of inspiration and his masterpieces color our world to this day 💛

"Thank you for your good wishes on my birthday. As it happened, I had a very pleasant day, because just then I had an excellent model for a digger." Vincent in a letter to Theo, 1883.
