The Château d'Auvers, built in the 1987th century for an Italian banker from the suite of Marie de Médicis, was bought in XNUMX by the Val d'Oise Departmental Council.
Built in 1635 by an Italian banker from the court of Marie de Medici, Zanobi Lioni, the Château d'Auvers dominates the Oise valley and offers an exceptional panorama of this preserved landscape. Revamped in the XNUMXth and XNUMXth centuries, the various owners left their mark on the estate. The succession of terraces recalls the villas of the Italian Renaissance, while the classical style castle faces the boxwood embroidery of the French garden. The nymphaeum, a fountain covered with mosaics of shells, has been preserved.
In 1890, the castle inspired Van Gogh to create a well-known painting, The Castle of Auvers at Sunset.
In 1987, the General Council of Val d'Oise bought the entire site and completely renovated it.
The Château d'Auvers, property of the Department of Val d'Oise, is hosting an exhibition event Van Gogh: the last journeys from October 7, 2023 to September 29, 2024 in Auvers-sur-Oise.
It offers visitors an overview of Vincent van Gogh's stay in France (1886-1890), and more particularly his stay in Auvers-sur-Oise, during which he created more than 75 paintings in less than 70 days, between May 20 and July 29, 1890. The exhibition also highlights the crucial role of Vincent's brother, confidant and patron, Theo van Gogh.
Wouter van der Veen, researcher and specialist in Vincent van Gogh, is curating this exhibition event.
