High-resolution scans of the palette forms the basis of an imagined virtual landscape inspired by the painter's world and use of colour, allowing visitors to have a uniquely interactive and sensory experience of the artist's major works from this period. Reproduced in stunning detail inside the 4K visuals of the VIVE XR Elite headset, visitors can examine the priceless palette like never before, seeing individual brush strokes in the oil paints.
The exhibition is devoted to the Dutch painter's works produced during the artistically prolific last months of his life. The period was one of creative renewal for his own style and development, marked by the psychic tension from his new situation and resulting in some of his greatest masterpieces.
VIVE Arts is a global arts initiative that supports artists and cultural institutions to experiment with immersive technologies to foster a greater digital ecology in the arts. Fuelled by its mission to democratize art experiences and using technology as a tool to preserve cultural heritage and make art more accessible, VIVE Arts has partnered with leading museums worldwide. These include the Musée du Louvre and the Musée de l'Orangerie in Paris; Tate Modern and the V&A in London. It has also worked directly with contemporary artists, including Wu Tsang, to support her work Of Whales which featured in the 2022 Venice Biennale.
Celina Yeh, Director, VIVE Arts said: "We are delighted to partner with the renowned Musée d'Orsay to provide a unique immersive experience to accompany this exhibition highlighting Van Gogh's seminal last months.

They will be able to dive into Van Gogh's palette to discover the artist's works and techniques as if they were exploring a landscape.
