The exhibition titled “ Van Gogh Multimedia e la stanza segreta ” is a journey, both virtual and mostly made through works, that let understand the human and artistic path of Vincent Van Gogh, one of the greatest and most beloved artists in art history. The exhibition shows the works by Van Gogh’s masters, friends, and those who were part of his life (not just his artistic life), which allows visitors to catch the phenomenon as well as to understand Van Gogh as an artist. Through his uncle Anton Mauve, Rodolphe Julian, Fernand Cormon, it is possible to learn about the beginnings of a student who would grow up and meet personalities like Toulouse Lautrec and Louis Anquetin through the figure of Paul Sérusier, as well as Paul Gauguin and the legendary Dr. Gachet and others. All of them shaped his vision of a new way of making art. Van Gogh in Parma In addition to the multimedia elements devoted to Van Gogh's work, the exhibition focuses on the places and people who contributed to his artistic formation. Thus, around Van Gogh's rare Heliogravure with the portrait of Dr. Gachet, there are on display the works of artists such as Anton Mauve, who was his first mentor and whom Van Gogh never stopped thinking about throughout his life, and not coincidentally he was the most mentioned person in his letters as well as a source of inspiration for several paintings. There are also works by Fernand Cormon. In his Parisian atelier, Van Gogh discovered the pictorial freedom that would be the foundation of all his future works, as well as works by Toulouse Lautrec, whom he met at Cormon's Atelier and who became one of his closest friends. Gauguin's presence is documented by works from both the Breton and Tahitian periods following his escape, when a hard view of life was also the cause of Van Gogh's death. Equally significant are the works by Emile Bernard, who was a very close friend of Van Gogh’s as well as the first one who classified his works after his death on request of his brother Théo. All these works enrich a path linking Van Gogh's research to the ferments that would later give rise to the birth of modern art. Rare photographs of that period, along with documents and books, contribute to increase knowledge of Van Gogh's artistic path.
