Hague, the Netherlands 1869 (July 30) – June 1873

2.

In 1869, Vincent moved to The Hague, or Den Haag, the capital of the Netherlands, to work as a clerk for Goupils and Company art dealers, for his Uncles "Cent" (Vincent) and “Cor” (Cornelius). There is a square in the town called Plaats at the end of the row of trees, which is where the art store is. It was while he was here, in 1872, that he began writing to his younger brother Theo, a correspondence that would one day become one of the most celebrated in the world, giving us valuable insight into his complex views and musings.
