How would Van Gogh’s paintings look like if he was still alive? How would he depicted Amsterdam’s erotic entertainment area in the 21st century? With this question in mind, we walked through the area and went to some of our favourite spots. We made these 13 images. Or at least, inspired by the brilliant Dutch painter! These images are inspired by the painting “The Starry Night” – one of his best paintings – which he made in June 1889. This is what it looks like:
