点评:We spent the day in Arles on May 27, 2025. The Espace Van Gogh building was originally the Hôtel-Dieu hospital, where Van Gogh was a patient after cutting off part of his ear. The garden has been restored to look like his painting of it, which is shown in a nearby reproduction, and is quite pretty. It is surrounded by arcades that one would hope had a room or exhibit relevant to the subject, but think again: apart from a small shop selling all sorts of Van Gogh trinkets, there was nothing else Van Gogh-related. When I asked about this in the tourist office I was reminded that most of his subjects had been destroyed and I should not expect to see much.
But Arles uses its link to Van Gogh to attract tourists and should try harder! For example, the Di Vinci home in Amboise has reconstructed rooms showing how he created pigments and found inspiration in everyday objects. Surely, there is something more Arles could do for those Van Gogh fans who make the trek to the town.
翻译:2025年5月27日,我们在阿尔勒度过了一天。梵高空间大楼原为梵高医院(Hôtel-Dieu hospital),梵高曾因割掉部分耳朵而住院。花园已被修复,与他画作中描绘的花园一模一样,这幅画作在附近展出,非常漂亮。花园周围环绕着拱廊,人们希望里面能有一个与主题相关的房间或展览,但仔细想想:除了一家出售各种梵高小饰品的小商店外,再也没有其他与梵高相关的东西了。当我在旅游办公室询问此事时,他们提醒我,梵高的大部分作品都被毁了,我不应该指望能看到太多。
但阿尔勒利用与梵高的联系来吸引游客,应该更加努力!例如,位于昂布瓦兹的达芬奇故居重建了一些房间,展示了他如何制作颜料以及如何从日常物品中汲取灵感。当然,阿尔勒可以为那些不远万里来到这里的梵高爱好者们提供更多服务。
