In Paris, Van Gogh met the artists Émile Bernard and Paul Gauguin, whose dynamic use of color encouraged him toward his characteristically vibrant palette. In 1888, the temperamental artist moved to Arles in southern France. There, Van Gogh reached the height of his artistic practice, creating hundreds of paintings – self-portraits, landscapes, and many scenes of the city’s brightly hued buildings and surrounding wheat fields.
