Van Gogh’s triptychs reunited

The Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam proudly presents Van Gogh along the Seine. One of the highlights of this new exhibition is Vincent van Gogh’s Fishing in Spring, the Pont de Clichy (Asnières) (1887). The painting from the Art Institute of Chicago was today put on display alongside two other works, temporarily reuniting what was once a triptych.

From early May until the end of June 1887, Vincent van Gogh worked in and around Asnières, a suburb to the north-west of Paris. He made some forty paintings in the area. The artistic highlight of Van Gogh’s time in Asnières are the three triptychs that he made there: nine paintings in total. This was a unique artistic project.

Over the years, the paintings became scattered around various private and museum collections all around the world. Seven of the nine works are reunited in the exhibition. This is this first time that the paintings are being displayed in this composition.

Van Gogh along

The pioneering exhibition Van Gogh along the Seine explores how the area along the Seine near Asnières, to the north-west of Paris, was crucial to the artistic development of Vincent van Gogh and his contemporaries: Paul Signac, Georges Seurat, Emile Bernard and Charles Angrand.
