“The starry sky at last, actually painted at night, under a gas-lamp.”
~ Vincent van Gogh in 1888

As part of the celebration of its 200th anniversary, the National Gallery in London has just opened an exhibition titled Vincent van Gogh: Poets and Lovers. Despite the short span of his career, van Gogh was a prolific artist, with his last two years of painting being the most fruitful. It is that period in van Gogh’s art—the time in his life when his creativity was at its most frenetic and advanced—that is the focus of the exhibition.
