Vincent Van Gogh. Drawings: Influences and Innovations

The exhibition Van Gogh Drawings: Influences and Innovations brings together some 50 drawings by the artist, as well as a selection of works that inspired him, such as gravures of Rembrandt and Dürer and Japanese prints by Hiroshige. Today regarded as one of the greatest draughtsmen of the 19th century (and indeed of the 20th, when his talent was finally recognized), Van Gogh considered that a good command of drawing was an essential basis for a career as a painter.
