19th January Art Appreciation Trip

Monet and Van Gogh Two blockbusters your choice

Courtauld Gallery London and Monet

Claude Monet (1840—1926) is world renowned as the leading figure of French Impressionism, the movement that changed the course of modern art. Less known is the fact that some of Monet’s most remarkable Impressionist paintings were made not in France but in London. They depict extraordinary views of the Thames as it had never been seen before, full of evocative atmosphere, mysterious light and radiant colour.

Begun during three stays in the capital between 1899 and 1901, the series — depicting Waterloo Bridge and the Houses of Parliament — was unveiled in Paris in 1904. To this day, they have never been the subject of an UK exhibition.

Entry Cost £18 - You will need to purchase your ticket before the day. Tickets are likely to sell out so please don't leave it until the last minute. Monet and London. Views of the Thames - The Courtauld

National Gallery Van Gogh Poets and Lovers

The National Gallery is bringing together the most loved of Van Gogh’s paintings from across the globe, some of which are rarely seen in public. They will be paired together with his extraordinary drawings.

Over just two years in the south of France, Van Gogh revolutionised his style in a symphony of poetic colour and texture. He was inspiredby poets, writers and artists. The exhibition looks at this time in Arles and Saint-Rémy as a decisive period in his career. His desire to tell stories produced a landscape of poetic imagination and romantic love on an ambitious scale.

See up-close his ‘Starry Night over the Rhône’ (1888, Musée d’Orsay) and ‘The Yellow House’ (1888, Van Gogh Museum), as well as our own ‘Sunflowers’ (1888) and ‘Van Gogh's Chair’ (1889), among many others.
