Not many works merit an entire gallery to themselves.
That’s an honor the Norton Museum of Art has bestowed on Vincent van Gogh’s The Poplars at Saint-Remy, the only occupant of a gallery on the third floor of the Nessel Wing.
The work, property of The Cleveland Museum of Art, is one of two major paintings on loan from other institutions in exchange for loans of important paintings from the Norton’s collection. The other is Edgar Degas’ Portrait of Mlle. Hortense Valpincon, which belongs to the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
