If you’re an art buff, or even just the sort to enjoy a beautiful painting, you may have stared into the brush strokes of a Van Gogh or Monet piece and wished you could actually go there.2 Well, surprise! Maybe you can. A number of the most famous works of art have been based on real settings, meaning that your next vacation could take you somewhere acrylic3 or oil based―except perhaps somewhat less messy. So instead of wandering through an art museum on your next vacation, buy a ticket and wander through the painting itself―or as close as you can get.
Vincent Van Gogh’s Cafe Terrace4
Though Van Gogh was of Dutch origins, he spent a great deal of time in France, and this specific painting was made in Arles at the Place du Forum in 1888. You can still go there and wander through the area, and even stop in at the cafe the painting was based on. Of course, there’s more to Arles than just this patch of coffee shops, and if you’re interested in continuing the art experience, you can head to the Musee Reattu, a modern art museum that houses two Picasso paintings and many other worthwhile works. You can also rent a bike and cycle through vineyards and countryside, some of which, according to Lonely Planet,5 was featured in other landscape paintings from Van Gogh.
Claude Monet’s Water Lilies
The subject of over 200 paintings from Monet is nothing if not6 a beautiful destination. If it was worth pounds of paint and miles of canvas7, it’s certainly worth a visit for your own eyes―and once again, visiting the real life pond of his water lily fascination is an option. The landscape paintings were done at his home in Giverny, a commune8 in northern France on the River Seine.
The trip also has the advantage of being only 80 kilometers from Paris, so you can take in some of the other French sights while there. His home and gardens are open to visitors, and the Musée des Impressionnismes Giverny is also located in the area, and hiking there is said to be beautiful if you’re feeling up for a walk in what Monet saw so many years ago through a train window―eventually helping him decide to move there. ”He looked out the window and saw this charming village. So he just got off the train,” said Normandy tour guide Brigitte Mueller to NPR9.”He walked until the first pub, sat down, had a big jug of cider and talked to the local people.”
Georges Seurat’s A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte
Seurat’s painting of A Sunday Afternoon is based on a park on the Grande Jatte island in the Seine River, close by Paris. The park itself is now just that―a park. Obviously, you can’t expect everything to be the 1880s pixilated10 version the moment you step onto the site―however, it affords a nice view of the water, perfect for a walk in the sun if weather allows.
There’s also various sites around the island with information on various Impressionist painters, including but not limited to Seurat. Reproductions of Van Gogh, Sisley, Gleizes, and Nozal would be visible as well on your walk.11 Once again, it’s very close to Paris, meaning you can get your fill12 of museums and other French culture while in the neighborhood.
Salvador Dali’s Port Lligat Landscape
Not many of Dali’s paintings are of this world, and most seem to be based on something internal rather than external. His paintings involving Port Lligat, such as The Madonna of Port Lligat and Port Lligat Landscape, are actually based on a real location, though; even if they feature angels and a trumpeting horse rider. The landscape of the region also had a potentially strong influence on his other works, even if the area was not directly featured in them.
Port Lligat also has the advantage of being Dali and his wife Gala’s only home for many years, between 1930 and 1982, when Gala died there. Port Lligat is located in Spain on the Costa Brava of the Mediterranean, a beautiful place to visit itself, but also an opportunity to see the house museum of their old place for curious fans.
El Greco’s View of Toledo
El Greco’s View of Toledo is one of only two landscapes still around from El Greco, and depicts13 Toledo, Spain, though the buildings apart from the castle aren’t accurately represented. Going back today, you’ll see not only the same church and landscape, but a museum dedicated to Greco.
“The church didn’t pay El Greco for two years; he had no money,” Mannuela Carrasco, a guide, told the New York Times. “If El Greco were to wake up from his tomb and see this museum, see this gift shop, I have no idea what he might say.” The city, much like in the painting, is full of beautiful architecture, parks, and right along the side of the Tagus River.
不管你是艺术爱好者,还是单纯喜欢欣赏画作,盯着梵高和莫奈的P触时,你一定想过,要是能到画里走一遭该有多好呀。想不到吧,还真有这种可能!不少名画都是基于真实的场景创作的,下次度假的时候,不妨去一个丙烯颜料或者油画颜料尽染过的地方。当然,实景可能没有画里那么凌乱。下一次度假时与其再去艺术博物馆里流连,不如买张票,直接走到画中去吧,抑或尽可能地接近一下。
梵高 《夜晚露天咖啡座》
梵高是荷兰人,但在法国呆过很长时间。这幅1888年创作的画,画的就是阿尔勒市场广场。现在你依然可以去那里逛逛,甚至去画上的咖啡厅坐一坐。当然,阿尔勒远不止这一片的几间咖啡厅,如果你想继续艺术体验,不妨前往雷阿切美术馆。那是一家现代艺术博物馆,藏有两幅毕加索的画作和其他价值连城的艺术品。你也可以租一辆自行车,穿过葡萄园和乡村。《孤独星球》上说,这里的风景也在梵高的其他画作中出现过。
莫奈 《睡莲》
两百多幅莫奈的作品画的都是些优美的去处。既然它值几磅颜料、几英里画布,肯定也值得你亲眼去看一看。同样,真实场景中的睡莲或许不失为一个好的选择。这些风景画是他在吉维尼的家中完成的,吉维尼是法国北部塞纳河畔的一个小镇。
这趟旅行的优势还在于,吉维尼距巴黎只有80公里。因此,你也可以顺道游览一下法国其他景点。莫奈的宅邸和花园都对游客开放,吉维尼印象主义绘画美术馆也在附近。如果你有兴趣徒步过去,路上的风景也很美。许多年前莫奈正是在火车上看到了这里的风景,才决定在此定居的。诺曼底的导游布里奇特・米勒对美国国家公共广播电台说:“他望向窗外,看见了这座迷人的村庄,于是就下了车。”“他走进路上遇到的第一间酒馆,坐下来,要了一大杯苹果酒,跟当地人聊了起来。”
修拉 《大碗岛的星期天下午》
修拉的《大碗岛的星期天下午》画的是塞纳河中大碗岛上的一个公园,离巴黎很近。公园现在还和画上一样,依旧是个公园。不过,你也不能指望一踏进去,就能看到19世纪80年代修拉式的点彩风景。那里的水景相当漂亮,如果天气不错,阳光下的漫步也是再好不过了。
除了修拉,还有其他几位印象派画家画过该岛的景致。漫步之中,你会见到梵高、西斯莱、格莱茨、诺萨尔画中的风景。同样这里也离巴黎不远,所以从巴黎的那些博物馆出来后,还可以在周边体验一下真实的法国风情。
达利 《利加特港的景物》
达利的作品很少有画现实世界的,他更多关注内心的感觉而非外在的景象。但有关利加特港的画,比如《利加特港的圣母》和《利加特港的景物》,虽然主角是天使和吹号角的骑士,但却是以真实的港口为背景的。当地的风景对达利其他的画作也有很大影响,尽管它们并没有直接在达利的画作中体现。
利加特港还有一个特别之处:从1930年开始,那里就是达利和妻子加拉的唯一住所,直到1982年加拉离开人世。利加特港位于西班牙,在地中海的布拉瓦海岸上,本身风景就十分优美。再加上达利故居博物馆,达利的追随者们就更得前去瞻仰一番了。
格列柯 《托莱多风景》
《托莱多风景》是格列柯仅存的两幅风景画之一,描绘的是西班牙古城托莱多。尽管除城堡以外,其他建筑并非完全忠于实景。现在去看的话,不仅能看到当初的教堂和风景,还有一座格列柯故居博物馆。
“教堂长达两年都没有付钱给格列柯;他穷困潦倒。”导游马努埃拉・卡拉斯克告诉《纽约时报》的记者,“格列柯要是起死回生,看到这座博物馆,这个纪念品商店,真不知道他会怎么说。”和画里的一样,托莱多就在塔古斯河边,有许多漂亮的建筑和花园。
