ARLES ARTISTRY: Experiencing a City Through Van Gogh’s Eyes

If there’s an upside to the continuing uncertainly about travel it’s that you can see normally touristy places like a local. On a late fall cruise in France, we have the normally busy streets of Arles basically to ourselves. It’s a golden opportunity to see the places that inspired many of Vincent Van Gogh’s most famous artworks stripped to the basics, much as he would have seen them.

So, let’s have a little fun and imagine these scenes as Van Gogh might have.

We’re here with a small group from an AmaWaterways Rhone River cruise aboard AmaKristina to savor scenes that are little changed from the nineteenth century. These scenes from an art tour of Arles are tweaked with some Photoshop stylization–and with profound homage to the brilliant artist whose techniques have fascinated us for a century and a half.
