The lives of many famous artists have been shrouded in mystery and conjecture, but none have been more controversial than the life of Vincent van Gogh. Remembered for his swirling brushstrokes and burning colors, Vincent van Gogh is today one of the best-known painters. Though his career as a painter spanned less than ten years, he produced a body of work that remains one of the most enduring in all of modern art. In his lifetime, however, he received little recognition. Today his paintings sell for countless millions, yet during his lifetime, van Gogh managed to sell just one painting.

Unlike most artists, Van Gogh developed very slowly, beginning with work as an art dealer that exposed him to many great works. He undertook this work for several years, after which he spent time as a missionary for the Dutch Reformed Church. Thereafter, he drifted for several years before returning home to his parents’ house, where he took up painting, largely self-taught with books on anatomy and painting. His great works all date from the later years of his life.

Yet beneath her studied act, all was not well.

In questo ritratto, racconteremo la vita di Van Gogh a partire dai primi anni, dalla nascita a un anno esatto dalla morte del fratello maggiore suo omonimo. Conosceremo la famiglia Van Gogh, una famiglia patriarcale, molto religiosa e chiusa. All'interno di questo contesto, Vincent sviluppò una forte propensione verso la missione religiosa fino a decidere di dedicare la sua vita a Dio. Contemporaneamente, durante il periodo di fervore mistico, nel giovane Vincent comparvero i tratti della ribellione e i primi malesseri psichici.

Vincent van Gogh is undoubtedly one of the most influential painters of the end of the 19th century. An entire museum in Amsterdam is dedicated to the works of Vincent van Gogh. And even though his name is famous now, his life was tough, and he faced many fears, worries, and inner demons.

Vincent van Gogh is one of the world’s most famous artists, and his paintings are among the world’s most valuable. The archetypal starving artist, Vincent died aged just 37 years by his own hand, poor, isolated, and, in his eyes, a failure. Yet, in Vincent’s life story we can see the evolution of a boy becoming a man becoming a great artist, whether his contemporaries could see it at the time or not.

Geniale e instabile, sensibilissimo e visionario, folle ma dotato di talento straordinario, Vincent Van Gogh può essere considerato colui che ha inventato l'arte contemporanea, e la figura dell'artista "disturbato". La sua vita fu un susseguirsi di vicende traumatiche che contribuirono a sovraccaricare la sua psiche già debole, e allo stesso tempo, ad accrescere la sensibilità che guidò la sua mano e il suo pennello. Durante la sua breve vita creò tele di una bellezza struggente - ben 864 - ma ne vendette soltanto una.
