In the period that Vincent van Gogh lived in Nuenen (1883-1885), he regularly walked to Eindhoven. He had three students there and gave lessons in still life painting. He became good friends with two of them, Antoon Hermans and Anton Kerssemakers. In those days, Vincent bought his art materials and had lithographs printed in Eindhoven.
The world-famous Van Gogh-Roosegaarde Cycle Path (between cycle path intersection 99-35) goes between Eindhoven and Nuenen. After dark, thousands of tiny stones light up and you can imagine you are cycling though Van Gogh’s painting of ‘Starry Night’. It’s a magical experience! Eindhoven has four Van Gogh Monuments: the Gennep and Coll watermills, the St. Catharina Church and Anton Herman’s house.
