Sunflowers is one of the key exhibits of Van Gogh Museum and can be accessed by Van Gogh museum Amsterdam tickets. He created this elegant piece of art with nothing but shades of yellow. This way, he showed that a painting can be created with shades of a single color. He painted this painting as a form of gratitude, for his fellow painter Paul Gauguin. Later he produced 2 copies, one of which is currently housed in the museum. This is one of the beloved possessions of the Van Gogh Museum.

• Made in February 1890, Almond Blossoms was a painting that consisted of one of the most favourite subjects of the artist, large blossom branches against a blue sky.
• It is said that he borrowed the subject of this painting, along with its bold outlines and the tree’s positioning from Japanese printmaking.
• Van Gogh made this painting as a gift for his brother and sister-in-law, who had just had a baby.
• This work also remained closest to the hearts of the entire van Gogh family.

This is one of the two portraits Van Gogh drew of himself. This self portrait has him wearing a gray felt hat. It is created with the Pointillists’ technique where he painted with short strokes in varied directions. This gives the appearance of a halo near his head. This experimental painting style gave him a lot of recognition and further added to his fame. The colors have faded since, and now are much milder than what they were in the 1800s. Witness this change when you visit the museum using the Van Gogh museum Amsterdam tickets.

Self Portrait as a Painter is the artist's second self portrait that he painted with modern hues to demonstrate that he is a modern painter. Given that he had run out of inspiration in the city, this was the final time he painted in Paris. Due to his tiredness, he portrayed himself as worn and unkempt, and hence used such drab hues in his painting.

True to its name, Garden with a Courting Couple, is in fact, a picture of young people in love under the chestnut trees. The picture portrayed his longing for a wife and a family, with bright colors. The painting was created in Paris as well and is an oil on canvas type. This is one of the few paintings Van Gogh created which revolved around the feeling of love and passion and can be viewed using the Van Gogh museum Amsterdam tickets.

Van Gogh painted The Yellow House when he saw a yellow house in the streets of Arles. The way the yellow walls shined when the bright sunlight hit them, it inspired him to create this masterpiece. Not just this, he even went on to rent one of these houses and lived there for a couple of years. He invited his fellow artists to stay as well, and planned to make this house an artists’ house where everyone could live and work together in peace and harmony.

This Bedroom is a part of the Yellow House which he rented in Arles. He decorated the room himself and adorned it with minimalist decor. His painting was originally meant to depict sleep, hence he used mild colors. But over the years, the discoloration caused the paints to change and now they show a rather bold color contrast than the plain one originally intended. Witness this change in colors using the Van Gogh museum Amsterdam tickets.

Van Gogh’s most widely painted theme was the Sower. He made approximately 30 paintings on the theme and planned to make more before his sad demise. The Van Gogh museum Amsterdam tickets give access to a few of these paintings. This particular painting of The Sower was created in the year 1888 when he worked with Paul Gauguin. Paul once pointed out that Van Gogh’s paintings were based more on his emotions than on reality, which is indeed true.

Often rumored as his last painting, Wheatfields with Crows, is in fact one of his most loved paintings. He did several paintings after this, hence it was not his last work. In fact, the rumor originated because of the way he painted the threatening sky and the crows, which were often linked with death. However, he simply wanted to portray loneliness and sadness, while also considering this to be ‘healthy and fortifying about the countryside’.

The Wheatfields Under ThunderClouds is one of his last paintings. With several paintings already on this theme, in this one too he tried to portray extreme sadness and loneliness. However, in this particular painting, he tried to show that sadness and loneliness can be beautiful as well, just like nature. He truly captured the beauty of the Auvers wheatfields.

Tree Roots is the last painting of Van Gogh. The incompleteness of this work of art simply justifies the confused and random mixture of bright colors. The day before his death, he started painting this picture, ‘full of sun and life’ as per his brother in law. The contrast of bright colors and death still haunts researchers and enthusiasts everywhere. Witness this rare piece of art and history using Van Gogh museum Amsterdam tickets.
