Vincent van Gogh’s Amsterdam

On 27 December, it’s time for my annual New Year visit to Amsterdam. I have a mixed relationship with the city. It was my home for five years, and when I now go back, I experience a sort of déjà vu. I love the city, but it also represent a past I’ve left behind. I don’t know how van Gogh felt about Amsterdam, but the sight of the city from the central station is something every past visitor recognises.
