Appartement des frères Vincent et Théo van Gogh

The third floor window of the building at fifty-four Rue Lepic holds the space where Vincent van Gogh lived with his brother Theo between eighteen eighty-six and eighteen eighty-eight. This apartment served as their base during a period of frantic change in Vincent’s painting style. Before moving here, he favored dark, moody tones, but the light from these windows and the constant conversation with Theo pushed his palette toward the vibrant yellows and blues that define his work today.
