Vincent van Gogh moved from an appreciation of the classical to an absorption of the styles of the Impressionist movement. Van Gogh aspired for a formless experiential than the sensory snapshot. His “View of the Asylum” was put to the canvas while he was a voluntary patient there, and its chapel reminds that the artist was once a missionary.
