For many, the winter months are bleak; gray days and harsh weather seeming to stretch on without an end in sight.\u00a0 Van Gogh<\/a> often felt this way.\u00a0 In a letter to his brother Theo from 1879, Van Gogh wrote,<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is sometimes so bitterly cold in the winter that one says, `The cold is too awful for me to care whether summer is coming or not; the harm outdoes the good.’ But with or without our approval, the severe weather does come to an end eventually and one fine morning the wind changes and there is the thaw. When I compare the state of the weather to our state of mind and our circumstances, subject to change and fluctuation like the weather, then I still have some hope that things may get better.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

During the winter, museums are a great place to go to soak up some culture while escaping the weather.\u00a0 Now with the launch of Google\u2019s Art Project\u00a0<\/a>this week, you don\u2019t even have to leave the comfort of your home to see the inside of a museum directly from your computer.\u00a0 So be sure to take a break this winter and enjoy the views from indoors.\u00a0 Great works of art will inspire and rejuvenate as they did for Van Gogh:<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the moment we have here \u00c9mile Breton’s picture, \u201cSunday Morning.\u201d You know it, don’t you? It is a village street of cottages and barns, and at the end is the church, surrounded by poplars. Everything is covered with snow, and little black figures are going to church. It tells us that winter is cold but that human hearts are warm.\u201d\u00a0 Vincent to Theo, December 10, 1875.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n\n
