Marseille's Centre de la Vieille Charité is the setting for this exhibition dedicated to Van Gogh (1853-1890) and his admiration for Monticelli (1824-1886).
"I am sure that I am carrying on his work, as if I were his son or his brother (...) taking up the same cause, completing the same oeuvre, living the same life, dying the same death", so spoke Van Gogh of Monticelli, despite never having had the chance to meet the old master.
The exhibition charts the relationship between the work of the two artists, both of whom dedicated their time to painting portraits, bouquets and landscapes.
