"This collaboration will allow the next generation to get to know #VincentVanGogh’s art and life story in a refreshing way. The #VanGoghMuseum and The #PokémonCompany have drawn on many years of educational expertise to create a special experience for #children, their supervisors, and we hope many others at the Van Gogh Museum,” - Emilie Gordenker, general director of the Van Gogh Museum
On this day, 133 years ago, Vincent #vanGogh died in the arms of his brother in Auvers-sur-Oise, just north of Paris, aged 37. The self-inflicted gunshot wound took two days to kill him. Here's a blog I wrote about his #suicide: https://janetomlinson.com/suicide-van-gogh/
And here's my hand-painted map of his Life and Works....
The 11th and 12th century Romanesque cloister at the former monastery of Saint Paul de Mausole in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence. By the 19th century, the monastery had been converted to an asylum, which took in the shattered Vincent Van Gogh in 1889 and 1890.
