For many painters, humans weren\u2019t their only muses\u2014the places they visited or settled in proved to be catalysts for creativity and expression. And just as artists have found inspiration in nature and nooks, their paintings can also inspire us to discover these rich and rewarding places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I first visited <a href=\"https:\/\/www.omio.co.uk\/travel\/bergen-auf-ruegen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">R\u00fcgen<\/a>, Germany, because of the <em>Chalk Cliffs on R\u00fcgen <\/em>by Caspar David Friedrich. Painted in 1818, it depicts nature at its most spiritual and not just as a backdrop to the human figure. The three characters depicted, a man, woman and their friend, almost disappear within the white cliffs. To view the painting in real life, head to the Oskar Reinhart Collection Am R\u00f6merholz in Winterthur, Switzerland. To see the fabled chalk cliffs for yourself, head to the Baltic Sea island, the largest in Germany.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"search-widget-overlay\" class=\"search-widget-overlay\">\r\n  <div class=\"search-widget-overlay__form\" data-search-widget-container>\r\n    <div class=\"search-widget-overlay__details\">\r\n      <button class=\"search-widget-overlay__close\" data-search-widget-close>\r\n        \u2715\r\n      <\/button>\r\n      <div class=\"search-widget-overlay__text\">\r\n        R\u00fcgen      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"search-widget-cta\">\r\n  <button class=\"search-widget-cta__button\" data-search-widget-cta>\r\n    Tickets to R\u00fcgen  <\/button>\r\n<\/div>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"36660\" src=\"http:\/\/www.omio.co.uk\/window-seat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Caspar_David_Friedrich_s_Chalk_Cliffs_on_Rugen-1-scaled-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-36660\"\/><figcaption><em>Chalk Cliffs on Rugen<\/em> is one of the most popular paintings by the Romantic artist Caspar David Friedrich.

Here, framed by ancient beech forests, you can enjoy the same view as the characters in Friedrich&#8217;s painting. The rugged coast spans seven miles and the while cliffs stand out from the crystal blue expanse of the Baltic Sea to dazzling effect. Of special note is the observation deck at <em>K\u00f6nigsstuhl <\/em>(King\u2019s Chair), which has the best views of the peninsula and where you can experience an aesthetic and romantic connection with nature, evoking a feeling of the sublime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A wonderful prelude to the city of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.omio.co.uk\/trains\/delft?id=bW9kZV90b19wb3NpdGlvbl9wYWdlLmNvbS50cmFpbi4zOTMyMDI=&amp;h=bHBzLmguc2VtLmlpLnJvdS50cmFpbl8wMS4u&amp;utm_source=google&amp;utm_medium=cpc&amp;utm_campaign=SEM_EU_EN_TRAIN_ALL_ALL_II.I_%5BTRAIN_01_ROU%7CPRO_0%5D_P%3ATRAIN_NOPRO&amp;utm_term=train+delft&amp;adgroup=SEM_EU_EN_TRAIN_ALL_ALL_II.I_%5BTRAIN_01_ROU%7CPRO_0%5D_P%3ATRAIN_NOPRO_%28__%29_%28DELFT_393202_NL%29&amp;content=basic&amp;gclid=Cj0KCQiA64GRBhCZARIsAHOLriI_qAdPk8pDp3m1-mwAP772gQmm8YrX2IFJB0kD7wRySmJynFbPkY0aAj4wEALw_wcB\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Delft<\/a> in the Netherlands is Vermeer&#8217;s masterpiece: <em>View of Delft<\/em>.

The Nieuwe Kerk, the final resting place for the Dutch royal family, sits in the heart of the Market\u2014the main town square\u2014together with the Old Church, which is Vermeer\u2019s gravesite.

Tulips, blue and white hand-painted porcelain (for which Delft is world-renowned) and wooden clog shops abound. Still, its sedate pace makes it a pleasing respite from larger cities.

Van Gogh spent the last years of his life in this quaint village before dying by suicide in July 1890.

Follow the trails dotted with panels that reproduce his works. Traipse around the small roads, which are blessedly nearly car-free, and spy the circular metal plaques emblazoned with \u201cVincent.\u201d The church depicted in the building still stands. It\u2019s small and simple but evokes a feeling of peace inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Head to Dr. Gachet\u2019s home, open to visitors, which features a garden of cypress and cedar trees. Another must-see on the itinerary is No. 5 of L\u2019auberge Ravoux, where the artist lived during the last two months of his life.
