Van Gogh’s ‘Bank of the Oise at Auvers’ is now back on view in our Modern galleries! From letters to his brother Theo, we know that Van Gogh sometimes got quite annoyed by all the insects and other materials that liked to stick to his paintings. In one of the letters to Theo dated July 14, 1885, he wrote: “I must have picked a good hundred flies and more off the four canvases that you’ll be getting, not to mention dust and sand.” Discover how traces of the outside world influenced Van Gogh’s masterpieces with insights from DIA conservator Ellen Hanspach-Bernal!
