The Van Gogh Museum is a Dutch art museum dedicated to the works of Vincent van Gogh and his contemporaries in Amsterdam. The museum opened on 2 June 1973, its buildings were designed by Gerrit Rietveld and Kisho Kurokawa; the museum contains the largest collection of Van Gogh's drawings in the world. In 2017, the museum had 2.3 million visitors, was the most visited museum in the Netherlands, the 23rd most visited art museum in the world. In 2019, the Van Gogh Museum launched the Meet Vincent Van Gogh Experience, a technology-driven "immersive exhibition" on Van Gogh's life and works, which has toured globally. Upon Vincent van Gogh's death in 1890, his work not sold fell into the possession of his brother Theo. Theo died six months after Vincent, leaving the work in the possession of his widow, Johanna van Gogh-Bonger. Selling many of Vincent's paintings with the ambition of spreading knowledge of his artwork, Johanna maintained a private collection of his works; the collection was inherited by her son Vincent Willem van Gogh in 1925 loaned to the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam where it was displayed for many years, was transferred to the state-initiated Vincent van Gogh Foundation in 1962.

Design for a Van Gogh Museum was commissioned by the Dutch government in 1963 to Dutch architect and furniture designer Gerrit Rietveld. Rietveld died a year and the building was not completed until 1973, when the museum opened its doors. In 1998 and 1999, the building was renovated by the Dutch architect Martien van Goor, an exhibition wing by the Japanese architect Kisho Kurokawa was added. In late 2012, the museum was closed for renovations for six months. During this period, 75 works from the collection were shown in the Hermitage Amsterdam. On 9 September 2013, the museum unveiled a long-lost Van Gogh painting that spent years in a Norwegian attic believed to be by another painter, it is the first full-size canvas by him discovered since 1928. Sunset at Montmajour depicts trees and sky, painted with Van Gogh's familiar thick brush strokes, it can be dated to the exact day it was painted because he described it in a letter to his brother and said he painted it the previous day 4 July 1888.

In 1991, twenty paintings were stolen from the museum, among them Van Gogh's early painting The Potato Eaters. Although the thieves escaped from the building, 35 minutes all stolen paintings were recovered from an abandoned car. Three paintings – Wheatfield with Crows, Still Life with Bible, Still Life with Fruit – were torn during the theft. Four men, including two museum guards, were convicted for the theft and given six or seven-year sentences, it is considered to be the largest art theft in the Netherlands since the Second World War. In 2002, two paintings were stolen from the museum, Congregation Leaving the Reformed Church in Nuenen and View of the Sea at Scheveningen. Two Dutchmen were convicted for the theft to four-and-a-half-year sentences, but the paintings were not recovered; the museum offered a reward of €100,000 for information leading to the recovery of the paintings. The FBI Art Crime Team listed the robbery on their Top Ten Art Crimes list, estimates the combined value of the paintings at US$30 million.

In September 2016, both paintings were discovered by the Guardia di Finanza in Italy. The two artworks were found according to the Van Gogh Museum; the museum is situated at the Museumplein in Amsterdam-Zuid, on the Paulus Potterstraat 7, between the Stedelijk Museum and the Rijksmuseum, consists of two buildings, the Rietveld building, designed by Gerrit Rietveld, the Kurokawa wing, designed by Kisho Kurokawa.

Georg Dubislav Ludwig von Pirch was a Prussian lieutenant general who fought in the Napoleonic Wars, participating in the battles of Leipzig and Waterloo. He is sometimes referred as Pirch I to distinguish him from his younger brother, Otto Karl Lorenz von Pirch, referred as Pirch II. Georg Dubislav Ludwig von Pirch was born on 13 December 1763 in Magdeburg. In 1775 Pirch began his career in the Prussian military, becoming a cadet in the Hessen-Kassel Nr. 45 infantry regiment. In 1787 he saw action in the Prussian invasion of Holland and in 1793 he participated in Siege of Mainz, he became a French prisoner for two years after Prussian defeat in Battle of Jena in 1806. When the War of the Sixth Coalition began Pirch was appointed commander of a brigade in April 1813. Serving under the Army of Bohemia, he fought in the battles of Lützen, Bautzen and Kulm, earning promotion to the rank of Major General and both classes of the Iron Cross. At the Battle of Leipzig he led the capture of the village of Probstheida, despite suffering heavy casualties in his brigade.

In 1814 he participated in the Battle of Laon under the command of Blücher. In May 1815 General Ludwig von Borstell, commander of the Prussian II Corps, was sent home after protesting against the rough treatment of revolting Saxon units. Pirch replaced him as commander of the corps. At the beginning of Waterloo campaign, II Corps under Pirch's command numbered 30,000 men and officers; the corps was engaged in the Battle of Ligny on 16 June, suffering about 6,000 casualties and similar number of deserters. On June 18 Pirch's Corps set off from Wavre following after Bülow's IV Corps reaching Napoleon's flank at the Battle of Waterloo. Pirch's leading unit, 5th Infantry Brigade, joined the heavy fighting over Plancenoit village. Only part of Pirch's II Corps saw action in the battle, with a significant portion being bogged down in muddy country roads. After the battle Pirch was tasked with stopping the retreat of Grouchy's force at Wavre, but his assault on Namur failed due to the exhaustion of his troops and lack of reconnaissance.

After Waterloo Pirch handed over the command of II Corps to Prince Augustus of Prussia. After the end of the war Pirch was promoted to lieutenant general and received a gift of 4,000 thaler and multiple awards, including the Order of the Red Eagle 1st class with oak leaves and the Russian Order of St. George 3rd class, he retired in 1816. Pirch died in Berlin on 3 April 1838. Prussian general August von Nostitz characterized Pirch as a leader better suited for lower level commands, where he would properly carry out his orders, would not be required to act independently taking into account circumstances and greater goals
