The Letters of Vincent van Gogh

Paul Gauguin to Vincent van Gogh. Paris, December 1887.
Dear Sir,
If you come on my behalf you will find at Cluzel’s, the framer in rue Fontaine, a painting that I have delivered for you (for our exchange). If you do not consider it suitable, let me know, and come and choose yourself. Forgive me if I do not come to collect your paintings myself, I am so rarely in your part of town. I shall collect them from 19 boulevard Montmartre if you will be so kind as to leave them there.
Yours,
Paul Gauguin

Monet’s spectacular view of the Palazzo Ducale on the Grand Canal belongs
to the extraordinary series he completed in the fall of 1908 in Venice. Painted
from the south-east vantage of a floating pontoon, the scene depicts the Palace,
with its Byzantine fenestrations adorning the façade, alongside the Ponte della
Paglia and the prison building on the right. - artsMonet.com

Louis Anquetin - Avenue de Clichy, five 1887 Anquetin arrived in Paris
in 1882 and was soon friendly with Van Gogh, Toulouse-Lautrec and Emile
Bernard. His work reveals their influence as well as that of Degas and
Japanese prints. The scene here is the intersection of the Avenue de Clichy
and the Avenue de St. Ouen in Paris, near Anquetin's home in Paris.
