Heartstopping moments with Van Gogh | Nima Taleghani and Fisayo Akinade's Artists on Artists

If you could jump into one Van Gogh painting, which would it be? We invited Nima Taleghani and Fisayo Akinade, best known for their roles as teachers in Netflix’s ‘Heartstopper’, to consider Van Gogh and his work through their lens as actors, in our latest Artists on Artists film. They discuss some of his most recognisable works including ‘Starry Night Over the Rhône’ and ‘Sunflowers’… or is it actually ‘Tulips’?

The Artists on Artists series from the National Gallery is available to watch free on YouTube. We host artists of all kinds and invite them to reflect on themes across artistic genres in relation to our exhibitions and collection.

🎨 Van Gogh: Poets & Lovers is an exhibition at the National Gallery until 19 January 2025.
