For those that don’t know, “loving Vincent “,it’s a movie done with paintings. It’s kind of spectacular and amazing. I remember and older movie called “Vincent and Theo”.

Theo being Van Gogh brother who would send him money and who corresponded with letters very frequently.
The Rodin museum in Paris had a couple of VanGoghs which I was instantly drawn to. They fly a little under the radar as they’re not sculptures.

Thanks for the recommendation. Check out the brilliant "Loving Vincent" animated film and "Vincent & Theo" as well. Also, somewhat relatedly, Jeanne Calment (the oldest person to have ever lived) claimed to have known him in her youth.
