"You will hardly find in the palette of the Dutch the colours I ordered - the three chromes: orange, yellow, and lemon, Prussian blue, emerald green, alizarin crimson, Veronese green, saturnine red," - wrote Vincent van Gogh to his brother Theo.

The artist's original style, his outstanding painting technique and vivid palette are all present in The Red Vineyards at Arles. How did the concept of the painting change during its creation? What pigments did van Gogh use to paint it? How many layers of paint are there? And what did the x-ray of the painting show? We answer these and other questions in the second episode of the online series Conservation Diaries.

The online series Conservation Diaries is part of a project on research and conservation of the painting The Red Vineyards at Arles which is carried out with the support of LG SIGNATURE.
