About the painter Van Gogh

Van Gogh was born in the Netherlands and would later live in Paris and other places in France. He did not have such a happy life and the people in his lifetime disliked his beautiful paintings. In all his life, he managed to sell only one of his paintings. He earned no money and remained forever dependent on his parents and brother Theo. He takes to drink and is eventually admitted to a psychiatric hospital. In 1890, he decided - on the advice of his doctor - to concentrate on painting and he made his final series: On July 29, 1890, Vincent van Gogh dies and leaves behind more than 850 paintings and nearly 1,300 works on paper.

Rijksmuseum and Playmobil

To make art accessible to the widest possible audience, the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam has joined forces with the German toy company Playmobil. Together with designer Frederik Roijé they have created three Playmobil sets based on the paintings The Night Watch, ‘Marten and Oopjen’ and The Milkmaid as an introduction to art for a young audience.
