Where to See Churches at Petersham and Turnham Green

Vincent van Gogh made these drawings of English churches during his time working in London. The compositions show his early interest in architecture and religious subjects before he developed his distinctive painting style.

Van Gogh worked as an art dealer and teacher in England before becoming an artist. These early works were stolen from the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in 1990 and remain missing.

It was at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston until its theft in 1990.

Van Gogh made this during his time in England in the 1870s, before he became a painter.

Van Gogh drew these churches during his time in England (1873-76). Before becoming an artist, he worked as an art dealer and teacher near London, and churches reflected his growing religious interests.
