Vincent van Gogh was a Dutch Post-Impressionist painter whose bold brushwork, vivid color, and emotional intensity have made his work some of the most recognized and beloved in the world.
Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890) created over 2,100 artworks in a career that spanned just a decade. Despite struggling with mental illness and poverty throughout his life, he produced paintings of extraordinary power and beauty.
His unique style is defined by swirling brushstrokes, intense colors, and an unmistakable emotional energy that makes each canvas feel alive with movement. Van Gogh drew inspiration from Japanese woodblock prints, French Impressionism, and his own turbulent inner life.
Starry Night, Sunflowers, and Irises are among the most reproduced artworks in history. His influence on Expressionism and modern art is immeasurable -- virtually every artist working in color and expression after him felt his impact.
