"Coquiot's photographs of the Yellow House indicate its decline by the 1920s, with a barely visible notice reading 'Chambres meublées à louer' near the front door."
"The view from the River Rhône, which inspired Van Gogh's 'View of Arles on the River Rhône', remains largely unchanged, showcasing the continuity of the landscape."
"Jules Armand, who sold art supplies to Van Gogh, was visited by amateur painters shortly after Van Gogh's arrival in Arles, highlighting the artist's local connections."
Gustave Coquiot's photographs from the early 1920s capture the landscape of Arles, where Van Gogh lived and painted in the late 1880s. The recently acquired albums by Wouter van der Veen include family photos and Coquiot's images, illustrating the changes in the Yellow House and surrounding areas. The photographs reveal how Van Gogh's interpretations of the landscape were deeply personal. The River Rhône and local shops, such as the one owned by Jules Armand, played significant roles in Van Gogh's artistic journey during his time in Arles.
