Van Gogh spent the last two months of his life in Auvers, a little town in the north of Paris, where he was under the care of Doctor Gachet.
A moment that reminds us that the word “passion” comes from Latin “passio”, and means “suffering.” And Vincent lived his moment of maximum passion, where melancholy, anguish, desperation, swirled with the more intense life as his brushstrokes swirled. And that passion ended in a shot.
Vincent wrote to Theo in his last letter: "Well, the truth is, we cannot speak other than by our paintings." And we understand that desperation before life and death when we see those last brushstrokes, but also when we see he painted a hundred of paintings in ten weeks.
