How important was nature to Van Gogh?
Vincent van Gogh felt very much connected to nature, more than to cities. Nature inspired him to paint. Even in cities he was attracted to nature, like a park. He said: “If you truly love nature, you will find beauty everywhere.”
"The one I’ve just done is another garden.”
This view of the park was Entrance to the public garden. Earlier Van Gogh wrote that he had two paintings of this ‘other garden’ (to distinguish it from the ‘poet’s garden’); the second painting was The public garden with a couple strolling (‘The poet’s garden’).
