Van Gogh’s Footsteps through Arles and Saint-Remy-de-Provence.
by Young Man Kang & Melodie Everson
The true charm of France can be found in Provence in the south of France.
After about an hour by train from Marseille, a city in the center of Provence, you will arrive in the beautiful and small city of Arles.
I arrived at Arles Station on a sunny day in autumn.
My visit begins as I walk through the narrow alleys of Arles.
I have visited once before COVID-19, and this is my second visit after the Corona Pandemic.
Oh, what kind of charm does this town have that makes me want to keep visiting?
Slowly, the sound of singing begins to be heard from the square.
As if traveling through time in ancient Rome, I pass the Republic Square where the obelisk and the cathedral can be seen and find the Arles Tourist Information Center.
Here are the yellow spots on the tourist map, which mark the footsteps of Van Gogh.
A new landmark was added in Arles this year, so I went there first.
Luma is an art museum designed by Frank Gehry, the famous designer of the Guggenheim Museum.
Follow in the footsteps of Van Gogh, which are embedded in every road.
Originally intended to be built in Marseille, the Arena was built in Arles due to citizen objection. There, you can see the Spectators in the Arena at Arles, a painting by Van Gogh.
I arrived at the place where I had lunch on my last trip, a garden known as Espace Van Gogh, and had another lunch in front of Van Gogh's painting.
At that restaurant, I begin chatting with a local.
(Interview with a local: Margaux Polizzano)
With Margaux, I went to the Van Gogh Cafe in the Forum Square.
The painting that was standing in front of the cafe when I first came here is now hanging on the wall, so it stands out.
After taking a taxi from the other side of the Arles Tourist Information Center, I arrived about 10 minutes later at the Langlois Bridge, also known as Van Gogh's Bridge.
This bridge was destroyed by bombing during World War II. However, it is said that it was reconstructed based on Van Gogh's paintings, restoring the original appearance.
A model in a red dress is photographed with a blue sky background.
I went back to Arles and found where Van Gogh lived in the Yellow House at the entrance to Arles.
Unfortunately, the house was destroyed during World War II, and only a new building and a painting by Van Gogh remain.
Follow Van Gogh's footsteps for a few minutes, and you will see the beautiful Rhone River.
I found the place Van Gogh liked to visit where the Big Dipper can clearly be seen. This place is where he painted a Starry Night Over the Rhone.
As I’m looking at the Rhone River, I head to Saint-Remy-de-Provence, where he painted the Starry Night, another masterpiece of Van Gogh.
It takes about an hour by bus from Arles or Avignon to arrive at the small and quiet town of Saint-Remy-de-Provence.
On the way from downtown to the Saint-Paul Asylum, you will see the Vincent sign.
Although he was in an asylum, Van Gogh, at the earnest request of his brother Theo, was allowed to paint natural landscapes near the hospital.
Van Gogh may have sat on this stone bench while contemplating his work. The thick moss covering the bench tells the passage of time.
If you walk for about 15 minutes while admiring Van Gogh's paintings, you will arrive at the Saint-Paul Asylum in Saint-Remy-de-Provence.
Van Gogh entered the most difficult time and space of his short 37 years, but also realized his artistic potential.
Suffering from his endless sense of guilt and helplessness, Van Gogh was admitted to the Asylum in Saint-Remy-Provence in May 1889. Dr. Rey greeted him.
However, at the end of December, Van Gogh suffered severe seizures that lasted for a week. He suddenly sucked a tube of paint, and when his seizures subsided, he drew and drew as usual.
It was here that Van Gogh completed his immortal masterpiece, The Starry Night.
It was the darkest and most painful time of his life, but it was a time that burned the soul.
