Rural Van Gogh
Vincent van Gogh and the Netherlands are inextricably linked. He is an icon of Dutch culture. In the 19th century, the world-renowned artist drew his inspiration from the beautiful landscapes in provinces such as Drenthe and Brabant. His famous works make you realise how extraordinary and diverse our country is. Many of these places remain practically untouched by time, which means that Van Gogh’s legacy is still reflected in the Dutch countryside.
