Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890), a prominent figure in post-impressionism and modern art, remains one of the most influential artists in Western art history. Hailing from the southern Netherlands, he was primarily self-taught in the realm of painting. Over the span of approximately a decade, he produced an impressive body of work - around 2,100 pieces, encompassing 860 oil paintings and 150 watercolor pieces. His subjects ranged from landscape and still life to portrait. Despite encountering limited success during his lifetime, Van Gogh faced harsh judgments, being labeled a madman and a failure. Ironically, his posthumous recognition skyrocketed, turning his once undervalued oil paintings into priceless treasures.
Painting Style
During his early years (around 1882-1885), Van Gogh employed a somber palette with dark hues, focusing mainly on figurative and still life compositions, exemplified by "The Potato Eaters." Spending two years in Nuenen, he produced nearly 200 oil paintings. His move to Paris in 1886, where he shared an apartment with his brother, marked a turning point. His paintings took on a brighter and bolder tone. His time in Arles was particularly prolific, resulting in over 200 oil paintings, along with more than 100 drawings and watercolors. Enthralled by the local landscape and the interplay of light, he frequently incorporated yellow, ultramarine, and mauve into his works. The pinnacle of his artistic achievement unfolded in France from 1888 to 1890, producing masterpieces such as the "Sunflowers" and "Irises" series, as well as the iconic "The Starry Night".
