Paul Gauguin was also one of the diggers who participated in the construction of the Panama Canal. In 1887, he wrote to his wife: &#8220;I have to dig from 5:30 in the morning to 6 in the evening&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A huge construction project, which cost the lives of more than 25,000 workers. As for the artist, he fell ill and contracted malaria fever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">He and Vincent Van Gogh were friends\u2026 and it was complicated!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For years Gauguin and Van Gogh maintained an epistolary exchange, confiding in each other and talking about their art. In 1888, Gauguin decided to join his painter friend Van Gogh in Arles. They lived together for over two months but their characters did not seem entirely compatible\u2026 indeed, it would even be following a violent argument between the two friends that Van Gogh would have cut his ear off!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Gauguin&#8217;s apartment, plundered by his mistress<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Van Gogh would not be the only one with whom Gauguin would have had disagreements\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the year 1894, economic difficulties persisted. The painter had just moved to Concarneau with his new mistress: Annah the Javanese.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Strangely, he found himself involved in a dark fight. For two months, he remained stuck in hospital between morphine and alcohol. When he returns, his workshop has been completely robbed by Annah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A work by Gauguin sold for 265 million euros<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The famous painting &#8220;Quand te maries-tu?&#8221; made in Polynesia by Gauguin in 1882, was sold at the death of the painter for only\u2026 7 old francs. 100 years later, it was bought for 265 million euros by a family from Qatar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So did you know those <strong>facts about Paul Gauguin<\/strong> ? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Want to know more about <a href=\"https:\/\/my.museumtv.art\/smartlists\/the-post-impressionists\">Post-Impressionism<\/a>?
