  • Discovery of the Place Where Van Gogh Painted His Last Masterpiece
    This page was exported from - Digital meets Culture Export date: Thu Sep 30 2:46:05 2021 / +0000 GMT Discovery of the place where Van Gogh painted his last masterpiece img. Post card ?rue Daubigny, Auvers-sur-Oise' covered with the painting ?Tree Roots' (1890) by Van Gogh, ©arthénon, courtesy Van Gogh Museum. The discovery of the exact location where Vincent van Gogh painted his last artwork Tree Roots was made by Wouter van der Veen, the scientific director of the Institut van Gogh (Auvers-sur-Oise). Van der Veen found a post card dating from 1900 to 1910 featuring a scene including tree trunks and roots growing on a hillside. He has described and documented his discovery in a book, Attacked at the Roots, written specially for the occasion. Tree Roots is in the collection of the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam. Highly plausible discovery Van der Veen submitted his discovery to Louis van Tilborgh and Teio Meedendorp, senior researchers at the Van Gogh Museum, almost immediately. Bert Maes, a dendrologist specialising in historical vegetation, was also consulted. Based on Van Gogh's working habits and the comparative study of the painting, post card and current condition of the hillside, the experts concluded that it is ?highly plausible' that the correct location has been identified. Wouter van der Veen (scientific director of the Institut van Gogh): ?Every element of this mysterious painting can be explained by observation of the post card and the location: the shape of the hillside, the roots, their relation to each other, the composition of the earth and the presence of a steep limestone face.

This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution- Noncommercial 3.0 United States License. Phase the First: The Maiden Free eBooks at Planet eBook.com 3 I On an evening in the latter part of May a middle-aged man was walking homeward from Shaston to the village of Marlott, in the adjoining Vale of Blakemore, or Blackmoor. The pair of legs that carried him were rickety, and there was a bias in his gait which inclined him somewhat to the left of a straight line. He occasionally gave a smart nod, as if in confirmation of some opinion, though he was not thinking of anything in particular. An empty egg-basket was slung upon his arm, the nap of his hat was ruffled, a patch being quite worn away at its brim where his thumb came in taking it off. Presently he was met by an elderly parson astride on a gray mare, who, as he rode, hummed a wandering tune. ‘Good night t’ee,’ said the man with the basket. ‘Good night, Sir John,’ said the parson. The pedestrian, after another pace or two, halted, and turned round. ‘Now, sir, begging your pardon; we met last market-day on this road about this time, and I said ‘Good night,’ and you made reply ‘Good night, Sir John,’ as now.’ ‘I did,’ said the parson. ‘And once before that—near a month ago.’ ‘I may have.’ ‘Then what might your meaning be in calling me ‘Sir John’ these different times, when I be plain Jack Durbey- 4 Tess of the d’Urbervilles field, the haggler?’ The parson rode a step or two nearer.

Given to absolute regimen, he would get up every morning at 5 AM and paint all day, coming back to the Inn at his regular time each evening for his dinner at the downstairs café. He would then go up to his room and paint some more. He was charged about 3 francs a night and while there befriended the owners teenage daughter.

  • Tragic Destiny in the Life and Death of Vincent Van Gogh By
    Tragic Destiny in the Life and Death of Vincent van Gogh By Richard A. Hughes M.B. Rich Professor of Religion Lycoming College 700 College Place Williamsport, PA 17701-5192 USA 2 The aim of this essay is to interpret selected aspects of the life and death of Vincent van Gogh in light of a new biography. On October 18, 2011 two American scholars published a detailed and comprehensive biography of the artist, consisting of nearly 900 pages with small print and correlated with online footnotes (Naifeh and Smith 2011). This magisterial work will surely become the definitive biography of the painter. The authors present new evidence that refutes previous biographies, making them misleading or obsolete. For example, previous studies presumed that van Gogh died by suicide, but that position can no longer be maintained (cf. Blumer 2002; Meissner 1992; Nagera 1967). My interpretation is based upon the work of Leopold Szondi, a Hungarian-Swiss psychiatrist who established a monumental system of psychiatry called Schicksalsanalyse or the “analysis of destiny.” As a psychiatric geneticist, Szondi discovered the familial unconscious and synthesized it with psychopathology, ego psychology, and psychotherapy. He organized his system in terms of the concept of destiny which he defined as “the totality of all inherited existential possibilities” that one chooses and enacts (Szondi 1968: 21). The existential possibilities emerge from the familial unconscious, and the individual selects them either compulsively or relatively freely while acting out a pattern of behavior. The main choices are those of marriage, vocation, friendship, and to a certain extent illness and mode of death.
