Description

Inspired by Vincent Van Gogh’s “The Yellow House,” which once stood as the right wing of 2 Place Lamartine in Arles, France, my painting draws a parallel with Glasgow’s oldest house, The Provand’s Lordship. Built in 1471, this historic building sits in the heart of the city’s ancient quarter.

By echoing Van Gogh’s iconic yellow and blue tones, I capture the essence of this timeless legacy. The recently restored facade of The Provand’s Lordship shines anew on High Street, while the Royal Infirmary subtly peeks into the frame from the right. This juxtaposition of the old with the old, yet revitalised, not only pays homage to Van Gogh’s masterpiece but also celebrates Glasgow’s rich architectural history.
