The Vincent Affair
— The Vincent Affair
Welcome to Nune Ville. This is where Margot Begemann lived with her three sisters. When Vincent came to live in Nuenen in December 1883, he and Margot fell for each other. Together they tended to his mother who lay ill, they took strolls in the natural surroundings, and Margot came to visit him at his studio. A beautiful, intense love affair developed. Her conservative sisters disapproved, which caused the relationship to end in tragedy: Margot tried to take her own life. It had a profound impact on Vincent. Finally he had found a woman who was interested in him as a person; in his versatile mind and his unique way of thinking. This story has made this home a place of inspiration. A place for original thinkers. For the Vincents of today…
