The Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam has been lent three Van Goghs on long-term loan. This includes "Riverbank with Trees" (1887) and "Wheat Field" (1888) and "View of Amsterdam from Central Station”.

A little more about the loan from the P. and N. de Boer Foundation:

The painting was acquired by Pieter de Boer and his wife, Nellie Pressburger. While the two maintained a private collection, De Boer and his brother, Rudolf, started a 1921 art dealership in Amsterdam. The foundation that loaned the paintings to the Rijksmuseum was established from the private collection after Pressburger’s death.
