Great Works

Description

This unsuspecting work by the Post-Impressionist artist Vincent van Gogh, known simply as 'Van Gogh's Chair' has fascinated art historians for years. Lizzie Perrotte explains why this isn’t simply a painting of a chair, but a joyful celebration of an object that meant a great deal to Van Gogh, and perhaps can even be considered a self-portrait.
