Vincent Van Gogh (1853-1890), a Dutch post-impressionist luminary, employs a unique visual language to delve into the essence of color, form, and emotion while also presenting a deeply personal exploration woven with passion and melancholy. Rooted in the Netherlands and the rural landscapes of France, his work captures the nuanced tension between human experience and the forces of nature. Through masterful brushstroke techniques and a discerning color palette, Van Gogh provides a dynamic expression of complex human emotions, offering profound insight into the artist's evolving inner world as well as the human condition. His diverse repertoire includes portraiture, landscape, and some unusual subject matter such as copies of Ukiyo Japanese prints. Some of his most iconic works are 'Starry Night' and 'Sunflowers'.
