France|Van Gogh's last stop - Auvers-sur-Oise

The small town of Auvers, 30 kilometers away from Paris, is located on the banks of the Oise River and has beautiful scenery. Vincent Van Gogh and his beloved brother Theo are buried here. In 1890, the poor and sick Van Gogh came to Auvers and rented a 7-square-meter attic in the Lavaux Inn. In the last 70 days of his life, he passionately created the last 80 works of his life, including masterpieces such as "Wheatfield with Crows", "Auvers Cathedral", and "Auvers Town Hall"... When we went to visit his grave on a sunny afternoon, we passed by the place where he had painted and shot himself. It was quiet all around, and a gentle breeze blew across the fields... Dr. Black's evaluation of him in the British TV series Dr. Who is undoubtedly the most pertinent and appropriate: "He transforms the pain and suffering he suffers in life into passionate beauty on canvas. Pain is easy to depict, but the only person who can blend passion and pain to express the passion, joy and magnificence of the world is Van Gogh, who has never been there before, and perhaps never will be there again."
