    Episode 283 – Vincent Van Gogh in London
    Sep 5 2024
    As a young man working for Dutch art dealer Goupil & Co, Vincent Van Gogh was sent to London in 1873 to work in the firm's Covent Garden branch. Two months later he moved to a house in Stockwell – a building now marked by a blue plaque. In this episode, we're joined by Van Gogh House London's Alice Childs and Livia Wang, and art critic Andrew Graham-Dixon, to explore Van Gogh's life in the city and the role it played in inspiring him to become an artist.

Great way to access history

Lovely way to escape and unwind while learning or relearning history. I'm working my way through all the episodes. Thoroughly enjoyable. Great for my two twenty something daughters too, they listen while cooking!
