Everybody knows that Vincent van Gogh loved the colour yellow. But why?

Fascinating.
Poor mad, sad Vincent, dead at 47. There can be no doubt that he influenced another of the greats, Edvard Munch.
Cool
And I thought it was mellow…
There is also the theory that Van Gogh’s doctor was treating his seizures with digoxin a drug which can cause a visual effect that the patient sees everything with a yellow tint.
Art history was never my thing, but I found that very interesting. 65 isn’t too old to find something new to learn.
Kate, thank you for that. I’m a big fan of classical and impressionist painters. And I was fortunate enough to have visited the Van Gogh museum in Arles. That is a website I was unaware of; I now subscribe. Thanks again.
