cementerio auvers su oise

Auver Sur La OiseWe reached Auver Sur La Oise and saw the graves of Van Gogh and his brother Theo and the spot where Van Gogh had shot himself (?). At the spot was a Van Gogh picture of the field with ravens. As the painter in his letter to his brother Theo mentions that there is an immense expanse of grain under a clouded skies and he has not hesitated to express melancholy. We then went to the church which he had painted. On one side of the church compound was a copy of the picture of the church as painted by Van Gogh.Afterwards went to the City Hall which Van Gogh had painted and in the pavements there was a Van Gogh picture of the Hall. We crossed the street to arrive at the erstwhile house of Ravoux where Van Gogh had spent his last days. He had painted the young daughter of Monsieur Ravoux during his stay. Before entering, the guide went to buy the tickets. We went in also and saw a short film on Van Gogh in the small museum. In front of the narrow lane where the museum is situated is a series of steps leading upto the hill. Van Gogh had painted this and included 5 figures in his painting.We then went into the house where Van Gogh had spent his last days and where he had died. The room was stark and devoid of all furniture except a chair and a spring bed. After the visit went for a stroll past the staircase and saw the beautiful village of Auvers which is situated by the banks of the Oise River.

After walking through the beautiful town of Auvers su Oise, it was perfect to end our walk here where Vincent Van Gogh and his brother Theo have been brought together [after death]. Moving though it was it was the perfect setting atop a hill looking out upon the many places he had painted throughout his life. The simplicity of the headstones only enhances the experience.

Visiting the Cementario Auvers su Oise at the end of our day's stay in the village of Aurvers su Oise was an appropriate closure to our visit to this lovely village. The walk from the village ,up the hill to Notre-Dame d' Auvers, by the large fields of beans, turnips and spinach and to the cemetery, brought us to the peaceful resting place of Vincent Van Gogh and his brother Theo.

Both brothers died and are buried in this ancient cemetery in Auvers su Oise. A beautiful French village that's worth seeing while you are in the countryside. You'll also be able to visit the house Van Gogh lived in while staying in Auvers su Oise painting the French landscapes. It's all very special and well presented.

A small town but ornate cemetery with simple ivy-covered graves of the Van Gogh brothers. Worth the trip, but not much to see.

The path leading to the cemetery, the church, the open fields and the sheer simplicity of the tombs marking the brothers final resting place is timeless and appropriate.A great start to our holiday in France

A small cemetery at the end of a path, some two hundred meters from the Church of Auvers and from the wheatfields with crows Vincent has painted in the final weeks of his life in the picturesque village of Auvers-sur-OiseTwo small stones - simply with the names, first names,years of birth and death of the two brothers Vincent and Théo. The plant covering the two stones comes from the garden of Doctor Gachet.The two brothers are buried there, together again. The place is very peaceful, quiet, simple and emotional.Some (sun)flowers show the visitor's respect. There are not the only artist tombs in the cemetary. Norbert Gueuneutte for example is buried there too. But of course you will want to see the two Van Gogh brother's. You will be touched and moved. You may feel the pain, be in communion with the artist and cry...A moment you will not forget.

After seeing the church, which you will recognize from his painting, walk through the fields to the cemetery where Vincent is buried by Theo. Peaceful, haunting and timeless.

without going to see the tombs of Vincent and Théo. he also painted nearby and you have a nice walk back if you came from the church though the fields he painted.

If you are trying to trace the footsteps of Van Gogh, then Auvers sur-oise will be the last place on your list. You can get a map of the various Van Gogh sites at the visitor information center. The cemetery is a short hike down the road from the church made famous in a Van Gogh painting. It is very peaceful and well maintained. The gravesites them selves had a certain quiet, simple, elegance to them.

Was the final visit ot the day for us. Van goghs gravesite was very moved by it. The whole area is peace and tranquility and painters have there easles set up and doing sketches was very fitting.

respectful, well maintained military cemetary where both vincent and theo are buried side by side. imagine what the town was like over 100 hundred years ago by reading the many names, inscriptions and occupations on the grave stones.

On a hill overlooking the picturesque town of Auvers sur Oise, is this small cemetery where along the back north wall are the grave sites of Vincent Van Gogh and his brother Theo. the climb to the cemetery becomes quite steep, but for those pilgrims with a car there is parking as you follow one way streets to the cemetery. A bed of simple ivy covers the modest grave of this brilliant artist who sadly was not appreciated in his lifetime. Be sure to visit Auberge Ravoux in the town where you can visit the room where Vincent died.

The cemetery at Auvers-sur-Oise is well worth visiting, especially if you are a fan of Vincent van Gogh, who, along with his brother, is buried there. In fact, walking around this village will expose you to much related to the artist.

You can walk to the cemetary on a route that takes you by several o Van Gogh's easels. He and Theo are buried next to each other. It is a moving experience if you love Van Gogh.
