Van Gogh
Few people realise that the country as it was seen and painted by Vincent van Gogh 150 years ago, can still be seen today. Jurjen Drenth visited the places that we know so well from Vincent’s paintings. Many windmills, farms, lanes and fields are still there, tucked away around sleepy towns like Nuenen. The photographer met farmers, who still live in historical conditions without telephone and tv. Drinking their traditional coffee, harvesting potatoes together, or inspecting the sunflowers fields, Drenth managed to paint their pictures again. 150 Years after Van Gogh, but with similar result.
