This is where the artist lived and worked most of his life. His time here shaped him both as a person and painter.

MaaS pilot Utrecht-Leidsche Rijn: 'Vinex'. 1. MaaS pilot Rotterdam: ‘Rotterdam-The Hague Airport’ Local authority: Municipality of Rotterdam and Municipality of The Hague. Introduction: Rotterdam-The Hague Airport is faced with a large accessibility issue. The airport is currently only easily accessible by car; 78% of the visitors to Rotterdam The Hague come by car. In addition to (inter)national travellers, this also concerns people who work at the airport, or companies that are located around it. The airport would like to experiment with new mobility solutions. MaaS can enable a seamless and smooth door-to-door journey, improve the accessibility of the airport and increase the level of service for the traveller. The MaaS service provider creates transparency in the demand for mobility, which can lead to the development of new products or the adaptation of services. Approach: The MaaS pilot will start with a focus on Rotterdam-The Hague Airport. The airport already has specific knowledge about the different types of passengers using the airport and how to reach them (e.g. airlines and travel professionals). This is valuable knowledge that will be made available to the MaaS service provider and to which the travel advice can be adapted. The (inter)national traveller is a separate target group because, for example, they usually travel with luggage and therefore do not want to use all types of mobility services.

It is in these regions and nowhere else that you can admire marvellous Impressionist paintings W while also enjoying the instantaneous emotions that inspired their artists. It was here that the art movement that revolutionised the history of art came into being and blossomed.

These settings and landscapes, which for the most part remain unspoilt, still bear the stamp of the greatest Impressionist artists, their precursors and their heirs: Daubigny, Boudin, Monet, Renoir, Degas, Morisot, Pissarro, Caillebotte, Sisley, Van Gogh, Luce and many others.

Be moved by the beauty of the paintings that fill the museums and enter the private lives of the artists, exploring their gardens and homes-cum-studios.

  • Vincent Van Gogh the Starry Night
    Richard Thomson Vincent van Gogh The Starry Night the museum of modern art, new york The Starry Night without doubt, vincent van gogh’s painting the starry night (fig. 1) is an iconic image of modern culture. One of the beacons of The Museum of Modern Art, every day it draws thousands of visitors who want to gaze at it, be instructed about it, or be photographed in front of it. The picture has a far-flung and flexible identity in our collective musée imaginaire, whether in material form decorating a tie or T-shirt, as a visual quotation in a book cover or caricature, or as a ubiquitously understood allusion to anguish in a sentimental popular song. Starry Night belongs in the front rank of the modern cultural vernacular. This is rather a surprising status to have been achieved by a painting that was executed with neither fanfare nor much explanation in Van Gogh’s own correspondence, that on reflection the artist found did not satisfy him, and that displeased his crucial supporter and primary critic, his brother Theo. Starry Night was painted in June 1889, at a period of great complexity in Vincent’s life. Living at the asylum of Saint-Rémy in the south of France, a Dutchman in Provence, he was cut off from his country, family, and fellow artists. His isolation was enhanced by his state of health, psychologically fragile and erratic. Yet for all these taxing disadvantages, Van Gogh was determined to fulfill himself as an artist, the road that he had taken in 1880.

  • Vincent Van Gogh, Who Grew up Walking the Dutch Countryside
    "Sorrowful yet always rejoicing," Vincent van Gogh, who grew up walking the Dutch countryside, traveled through life seeking the eternal "Light that rises in the darkness"- like these swans readying for flight south of Amsterdam. From the pain and beauty of his journey, he created masterworks of passion, including penetrating self-portraits, such as this one at age 34. Van Gogh likened painting to performing music. "Whether I really sang a lullaby in colors," he wrote, "I leave to the critics." National Geographic, October, 1997 By JOEL L. SWERDLOW, ASSISTANT EDITOR Photographs by LYNN JOHNSON THE LETTERS FROM VINCENT VAN GOGH to his brother Theo are yellowed. Some are torn at the corners or have holes from aging. Acid from ink eats through the cheap paper. I have come to this bombproof vault in the cellar of the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam to begin my search for Vincent. Who was this man who said he "sang a lullaby in colors:' and why does he have such a hold on us? His paintings sell for the most money; his exhibitions attract the highest number of visitors; reproductions of his work-on socks, sheets, party napkins, coffee cups-permeate homes and offices; the song "Vincent" has sold more than ten million copies since 1971; movies mythologize his life. No other artist, at any time in any culture, has been more popular. THE 650 LETTERS from Vincent to Theo fill three volumes. Their first surprise is immediate: I knew that Theo financed Vincent's painting and had assumed Theo was the big brother.

Dankzij het mooie en goed gelegen museumcomplex, de verzorgde presentaties van kunst en erfgoed, de gevarieerde programmering, de kundige en gastvrije medewerkers en de actieve communicatie is het museum zichtbaarder dan ooit tevoren. Het succes van 2016, het jaar waarin de expositie Jheronimus Bosch tot een nauwelijks te evenaren bezoekersrecord leidde, vormde een hoogtepunt binnen de geschetste ontwikkeling. Het succes van de achter ons liggende jaren heeft ons als directie en medewerkers nog meer bewust gemaakt van de grote mogelijkheden en was eind 2016 dan ook aanleiding opnieuw naar de plannen voor de komende jaren te kijken, onze ambities helder te definiëren en het beleid voor de komende jaren bij te stellen. Concreet betekent dat nóg meer aandacht voor onze bezoekers, nóg meer aandacht voor aantrekkelijke en gevarieerde exposities en presentaties, versterking van de collectie door de verwerving van topstukken en een nog robuustere organisatie met als resultaat een verdere groei van onze bezoekersaantallen. Onze verwachtingen voor 2017 werden echter enigszins getemperd door het gegeven dat een jaar van louter successen over het algemeen wordt gevolgd door een jaar waarin de resultaten tegenvallen of op zijn minst weinig opzienbarend zijn. Die aanname bleek niet juist.
