Hiroshima Museum of Art is highlighting Vincent van Gogh’s final period with a special display of 'The Garden of Dôbigny', a late painting made in 1890, about two weeks before the artist’s death. The museum’s current presentation brings attention to the work as July 29, the anniversary of van Gogh’s death, approaches.
According to the museum’s announcement, 'The Garden of Dôbigny' is being shown at Hiroshima Museum of Art and is presented as a work from the artist’s final years. The museum is encouraging visitors to view the painting in person. No additional exhibition title or related programme details were provided in the source material.
Van Gogh’s 1890 output is among the most closely studied periods of his career, and works from that time are often read in relation to the urgency and intensity of his last months. The Hiroshima Museum of Art’s note focuses specifically on the proximity of 'The Garden of Dôbigny' to the date of his death, underscoring the painting’s place within that late phase.
The museum’s message ties the display to a specific date on the calendar rather than to a broader retrospective or loan announcement. It does not identify a separate exhibition venue or a parallel event, and it does not provide information about duration, installation context or other works shown alongside the painting.
Hiroshima Museum of Art, based in Hiroshima, Japan, shared the reminder through its official communication. In that post, the institution positions the painting as the main point of attention for visitors on the eve of the anniversary, with the work itself serving as the key factual anchor.
The source material gives only the essentials: 'The Garden of Dôbigny', painted in 1890, is currently on view at Hiroshima Museum of Art, and July 29 marks the anniversary of van Gogh’s death.
