[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 229023, member: 2844"]Did some more reading on the Antwerp connection: Van Gogh did a course in sketching in Antwerp in 1886. He applied for the oil painting course, but after a 2 week trial period he was told to practice more sketching before applying for a painting course again. After a total of three weeks at the academy, van Gogh decided these people were too arrogant for his liking, and he left. It is therefore unlikely that a painting by him would have been selected for an exhibition at this prestigious academy. Besides, the exhibition on the label was opened in 1885. Here is some info, there are english language options: [URL]http://www.vangoghsatelierpraktijk.nl/2011/04/van-gogh-op-les/[/URL] [URL]http://www.vangoghroute.nl/belgie/antwerpen/kunstacademie/[/URL][/QUOTE]
