Into the Colorful
Pastoral Landscape,
Into the Paintings of
Vincent van Gogh
—— Geng Chunxiao
Fouroux Valley is a flower botanical garden located in
Baitu Town, Jurong, Zhenjiang, and its name "Fouroux"
comes from the Dutch painter Vincent van Gogh's
nickname Le Fou Roux (the crazy man). In his artistic
career, Van Gogh drew inspiration from the pastoral
scenery for a lot of his masterpieces. Therefore, Fouroux
Valley wishes to bring visitors flower sceneries just as
beautiful as Van Gogh's paintings.
