Vincent van Gogh - 88 paintings in the Kröller-Müller Museum, Netherlands (with captions) [HD] 

The Kröller-Müller Museum in Otterlo, the Netherlands, is Vincent van Gogh’s second home. With almost 90 paintings and over 180 drawings, the museum has the second-largest Van Gogh collection in the world. Since the opening of the Kröller-Müller Museum in 1938, the works of Vincent Van Gogh have hung in the heart of the building: a corridor around a small patio, now called the Van Gogh gallery.
Helene Kröller-Müller was a leading European art patron of the early 20th century, and one of the first women in Europe to acquire a major art collection. Born in Germany in 1869, she married her father's business partner the Dutch Anton Kröller in 1888. Under the leadership of Kröller, Müller & Co grows into a highly profitable company and with the acquired assets Helene was able to start an art collection in 1907. Under the guidance of influential art critic and tutor HP Bremmer - himself an avid supporter of Vincent van Gogh’s work - she and her husband amassed a considerable collection of almost 12,000 works between 1907 and 1922, making their collection one of the largest private art collections of the 20th century. At its heart are nearly 300 works by Van Gogh, the display of which is said to have significantly contributed to the fame of the artist. In 1935 she and her husband donated their entire collection to the Dutch people. The Kröller-Müller Museum opened its doors in a wooded corner of the Hoge Veluwe National Park in 1938, with its sculpture garden opening in 1961.
Van Gogh was famously under-recognized during his lifetime, but Helene’s tutor H.P. Bremmer had been amongst his small circle of admirers, regarding him as one of the ‘great spirits of modern art’. Under Bremmer’s guidance, Helene began to collect Van Gogh works from dealers in Holland, Paris and Berlin, starting with ‘Edge of a Wood’ in 1908. Eventually exhibiting some works and telling others of their importance, she undoubtedly set in motion the recognition that has transformed Van Gogh into the world-renowned artist we know today.
