Vincent van Gogh (1853–1890) was a Dutch painter, generally considered to be the greatest after Rembrandt van Rijn, and one of the greatest of the Post-Impressionists. He sold only one artwork during his life, but in the century after his death he became one of the most recognized painters of all time.
Van Gogh’s art is characterized by bold colors, dramatic, impulsive, and expressive brushwork that contributed to the foundations of modern art. His works often depict landscapes, still lifes, portraits, and self-portraits, conveying deep emotional resonance. Van Gogh’s style evolved over time, influenced by Impressionism and Japanese prints, leading to his unique approach that emphasized emotional honesty and bold color. His technique involved thick applications of paint and energetic brushstrokes, creating a sense of movement and intensity.
