This exhibition will be a domestic touring exhibition, starting in Utsunomiya and subsequently held in Osaka and Nagoya.
### Van Gogh's Masterpiece "The Drawbridge" from His Arles Period Returns to Japan After 10 Years
Regarded as a pioneer of modern art, Vincent van Gogh's "The Drawbridge," a representative work from his Arles period where he established his unique style, is returning to Japan after approximately 10 years. This work, held by the Wallraf-Richartz Museum & Fondation Corboud in Cologne, Germany, is known for capturing the bright light and rich colors of southern France and is one of the major highlights of this exhibition.
### 42 Impressionist Painters and 70 Works Gathered
This exhibition will feature 70 masterpieces by 42 painters centered around Impressionism, including Van Gogh's "The Drawbridge," as well as representative works by Impressionist and Post-Impressionist artists such as Monet, Renoir, Cézanne, Gauguin, and Pissarro, and also works by Barbizon School artists like Millet and Corot.
All exhibited works are from the collection of the Wallraf-Richartz Museum & Fondation Corboud in Cologne, Germany. The museum is known for its wide range of collections from medieval to 19th-century art, and particularly its Impressionist and Post-Impressionist collection boasts top quality and scale outside of France.
Currently, the museum is scheduled for a long-term closure due to major renovation work, and during this period, these valuable works will tour Utsunomiya, Osaka, and Nagoya.
As these works, including Van Gogh's "The Drawbridge," will not be viewable in Germany for at least two years, this tour in Japan is a very precious opportunity.
