Description
Arles, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in southern France, is a city steeped in history and culture. Founded in Roman times, it has been an important destination for tourists seeking inspiration from its rich past.
The city's Roman amphitheater, with seating for 20,000 people, remains in continuous use after two thousand years. Other notable landmarks include the Alyscamps, a Roman cemetery featuring ancient sarcophagi, and the Church of St Trophime, boasting an astonishing Romanesque portal. The city also played host to Vincent van Gogh during his fourteen-month stay, leaving behind a legacy of art that continues to captivate audiences today.
This book offers a unique perspective on Arles and its connection to one of the most famous artists in history. Through Linda Seidel's engaging narrative, readers can explore the city's wonders, from its medieval church to its Provençal countryside, and gain a deeper understanding of Vincent van Gogh's time in Arles.
