Today, the works of Vincent van Gogh (1853–1890) are among the most well-known and celebrated in the world. In his paintings and drawings, we recognize an artist uniquely dexterous in the portrayal of mood and place through paint, pencil, charcoal and chalk.

This richly-illustrated introduction follows Vincent van Gogh’s story from his earliest pictures of peasants and rural workers, through his bright Parisian period, to his final, feverish burst of creative energy during the last two years of his life.
