Vincent van Gogh was a Dutch post-impressionist painter recognized for his use of bold colors and dramatic expressive brushstrokes

In 1886 van Gogh went to Paris to live with his brother Theo van Gogh who was an art dealer. Whilst in Paris van Gogh became familiar with the new art movements of the time and he was greatly influenced by the work of the Impressionists artists and Japanese printmakers. Van Gogh’s reverence of Japanese art is apparent in paintings such as Flowering Plum Orchard after Hiroshige 1887 and The Courtesan after Eisen 1887

In 1888 van Gogh left Paris for southern France and whilst in Provence he painted scenes of Wheatfields, Cypress Trees, peasants and rustic life characteristic of the region. It was when he was living in Arles that he began to use the swirling brush strokes and intense yellows, greens, and blues which we now associate with so many of his paintings

Van Gogh persuaded Paul Gauguin, whom he had met earlier in Paris to join him in Arles. It was a volatile friendship with one argument culminating in the now famous quarrel in which van Gogh wildly threatened Gauguin with a razor; the same night, in deep remorse, van Gogh cut off part of his own ear

Van Gogh spent a year in the nearby Asylum of Saint-Remy but continued to paint between repeated spells of mental ill health. Vincent van Gogh’s most famous painting is The Starry Night 1899, which was painted whilst he was in the Asylum, said to depict the view from his hospital room

It was on July 27, 1890 shortly after completing Wheatfields with Crows that he shot himself. Vincent van Gogh died two days later

Famous van Gogh paintings include Irises 1889, The Cafe Terrace at Night, and his series of Sunflowers of which there are 12 in total
