Van Gogh cycle route Eindhoven

During his stay in Nuenen (1883-1885), Vincent van Gogh regularly visited Eindhoven, usually on foot. In Eindhoven he taught three students how to paint still lifes, developing a close friendship with two of them. He also bought his painting supplies there and had lithographs printed there. Not all Van Gogh Monuments in Eindhoven are located directly on this route. This route offers brief descriptions of the Van Gogh Monuments that are located a short distance from the route.

\\\'Just yesterday I brought home that study of the water mill in Gennep, which I have enjoyed working on and which has given me a new acquaintance in Eindhoven who is eager to learn to paint.\\\ '

( The acquaintance was Anton Kerssemakers). Letter to Theo, November 17, 1884.
