The first big ‘block-buster’ exhibition, since the pandemic started, has made it to the National Gallery of Australia earlier this month. Called Boticelli to Van Gogh, it is a rare sharing of paintings from the National Gallery, London, of some of their most precious works.
Not surprisingly the gallery marketing team are really banging on about the Van Gogh Sunflower painting. It is a star. But there are so many others as well.
So here are some shots so you can get up close and personal, even if you can’t make the show itself.
PS if you are interested I have written previously about looking at Van Gogh’s work in these two posts: Up close to Van Gogh; and Van Gogh’s box of wool.

I love being able to get ‘up close’, even via a zoom camera lens to see what is happening in the painting.

So do I! Finding a high resolution photo of my favorite paintings in the public domain brings me pure joy. I want to see the brushstrokes. 🙂
