In the south of France, cherry farmers light fires beneath the trees to keep the frost away.
A fragile season protected by flame and a beautiful sight to see.
‘I’d rather paint people’s eyes than cathedrals, for there’s something in the eyes that isn’t in the cathedral – although it’s solemn and although it’s impressive. To my mind, the soul of a person [...] is more interesting.’ Vincent wrote to his brother Theo.
Let’s zoom in! In ‘The Bridge at Courbevoie’, Van Gogh captured a lively scene along the Seine in just one sitting. Instead of perfect perspective or precise figures, he focused on shimmering reflections and playful details.
Look closely: those colourful dashes of paint are Van Gogh’s own twist on Pointillism. He was inspired by artists like Seurat and Signac, who were among the first to use the technique of painting with dots in various colours. Side by side, layer upon layer – they make the water sparkle ✨🌊

Happy holidays! 🎄
Vincent didn’t receive many presents, but he never forgot small acts of care and kindness.
Wishing you warmth, light, and the kind of gifts that can’t be wrapped. 💛
