Welcoming the Rijksmuseum: Jacques Villon

In its annual presentation in the Van Gogh Museum, the Rijksmuseum will show a selection of works by Marcel Duchamp’s ‘unknown’ brother Gaston Duchamp, who went by the pseudonym of Jacques Villon.

Painting in the open air: myth and reality

Van Gogh’s studio practice

This year’s annual presentation on the research project 'Van Gogh’s studio practice'  features the painting Cliffs at Villerville-sur-Mer by Charles-François Daubigny. This work was regarded as a milestone in the Impressionist tradition as it was held to have been painted in its entirety in the open air. Recent research, however, shows this to be a myth.
