Vincent van Gogh

The artist Vincent van Gogh's is widely considered the greatest Dutch painter after Rembrandt. His striking and exuberant paintings were all produced during a period of only ten years. His Post-Impressionist work hauntingly conveyed through forceful colour, aggressive brushwork and contoured forms, the anguish of a mental illness that eventually resulted in his suicide. Van Gogh's brilliant, emotionally charged paintings are the most well known of all Post-Impressionist works.
