Van Gogh visits Madrid

The Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum of Madrid, is now showing an exhibit on the last days and works of Vincent Van Gogh, called 'The Last Landscapes'.
Since last June and until September 16, 2007, everyone who happens to be in Madrid and is interested in what this gifted soul worked on his last and more troubled moments of his life, have now the chance to take a direct glimpse into this man's passions through his 'trademark' brush strokes.
Vincent Van Gogh was able to create more than seventy paintings and around thirty drawings during the last two months of his life. However, on July 27, 1890, Vincent shot himself and died in agony in the early morning of July 29.

Thanks!
You're welcome to Madrid anytime you want (though the exhibit ends on September, we always have other interesting stuff).
