These conversations form the thread running through the episode and are interspersed with reports and archive material.

Overview

Painter Vincent van Gogh's devotion to art, his faith, and the people around him often drove both himself and others to despair. Arnout met him in 1885 in an attic room in Antwerp. His brother Theo tried to sell the work in Paris, but no one was interested. In 2025, Arnout was in Vincent's birthplace, Zundert, and walked past the grave of Vincent's stillborn brother. Arnout also met Filip Depuydt, who was involved in renovating the small house in the Borinage region where Van Gogh lived for two years. Visual artist Johan Tahon was deeply fascinated by Van Gogh and created a major artwork of him.
