1. "The EY Exhibition: Van Gogh and Britain" at Tate Britain, London
This show examines the Dutch artist through his little-known relationship with Britain, exploring how Van Gogh was inspired by British art, literature and culture throughout his career. It features over 45 works by the artist from public and private collections around the world, bringing together the largest group of Van Gogh paintings shown in the UK for nearly a decade. Among them are "At Eternity's Gate" and "Prisoners Exercising," both of which Van Gogh painted while he was a self-admitted patient at the Saint-Paul asylum in the south of France. The exhibition also highlights how British writers, and most particularly Charles Dickens, influenced Van Gogh's oeuvre. His 1890 portrait "L'Arlésienne" notably features a favorite book by Dickens in the foreground.
"The EY Exhibition: Van Gogh and Britain" is on view until August 11 at London's Tate Britain. For tickets and additional information, see the institution's website.
