Van Gogh Museum
We’ve been supporting the world-famous Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam since 2015, and we signed a new partnership in 2023. As a key sponsor of the gallery, our joint mission is to preserve the work of Vincent van Gogh and the art of his time, while making it as accessible and inspirational to as many people as possible.
Matthew Wong | Vincent van Gogh
Within the space of just a few years Matthew Wong developed a highly personal style, using intense colours to paint imaginative landscapes. Van Gogh was a great source of inspiration for Wong. His influence is unmistakable, in terms of use of colour. The current exhibition (until 1 September) explores the artistic and personal connection between the two artists in more detail. Wong saw his own life reflected in that of Van Gogh, and once said: ‘I see myself in him. The impossibility of belonging in this world.’
Introduction film
Especially for the exhibition, Mals Media created a film introducing Matthew Wong. Exclusive visuals and interviews with the artist’s friends and colleagues bring you closer to Wong. What drove him as an artist, and what made him so special?

Along the Seine
‘And when I painted landscape in Asnières this summer I saw more colour in it than before’ Vincent van Gogh to his sister Willemien, 1887
In this film, by Award-winning designer Christian Borstlap, collages of historical photographs and old postcards tell the story of the changing landscape that so appealed to painters. This film is supported by Van Lanschot Kempen, and was also screened in the exhibition.
Van Gogh in Auvers
This exhibition is the result of years of research into the final period of Van Gogh’s life. Van Lanschot Kempen contributed to the production of a three-part video series featuring curators and researchers discussing the huge number of works Van Gogh produced and how he felt during his final months.
Golden Boy Gustav Klimt
Klimt is famous for his decorative paintings laden with gold, universal symbolism and depictions of strong women. A collaboration with the Belvedere in Vienna, this exhibition was co-sponsored by Van Lanschot Kempen in 2022.
The Potato Eaters: Mistake or Masterpiece?
This 2021-2022 exhibition was an ode to the famous painting that Van Gogh claimed was his best work. It invited viewers to make up their own minds about this controversial artwork.
How to draw like Vincent van Gogh
Van Lanschot Kempen facilitated a three-part online drawing workshop series – “Drawing Peasant Life” – in which participants learn to draw in the style of the artist at his studio in Nuenen.
