The B&E Goulandris Foundation joins forces with the National Gallery in London, which is celebrating its 200th birthday this year, by lending two Vincent van Gogh masterpieces to the commemorative exhibition organised in London from September 14, 2024 to January 19, 2025. In return, the National Gallery has lent the Foundation two unique works from its Collection - Paul Gauguin’s Still life with vase and Paul Cézanne’s Landscape with poplars - that are on display at the first floor of the permanent Collection until January 2025.
Cézanne painted his Landscape with poplars between 1885 and 1887, at approximately the same time as his Self-Portrait, a work from the Foundation’s permanent Collection next to which it has been placed. It depicts a typical, summertime Provence landscape and it is very interesting to compare it to Cézanne‘s Countryside in Auvers-sur-Oise that is on display in the next hall.
