Drenthe, Netherlands September-November 1883

Vincent moved North to Drenthe, still smarting from his break-up with Sien and fantasizing about creating an artists’ community, a fantasy which would continue throughout his last years in France. He lived first in Hoogeveen and then Nieuw Amsterdam, and visited Zweeloo while he was here, taking in and reproducing the local people and scenery. He stayed here only briefly.
