More about the artist "Vincent Willem van Gogh"
Vincent Willem van Gogh (* 30 March 1853 in Groot-Zundert; † 29 July 1890 in Auvers-sur-Oise) was a Dutch painter and draughtsman. He is considered one of the founders of modern painting. As a pupil he received painting and drawing lessons from Constant Cornelis Huijsmans, later from his cousin Anton Mauve. According to the state of knowledge in 2021, he left behind more than 900 paintings and over 1000 drawings.
The paintings were mostly created in the last ten years of his life. Vincent van Gogh kept up an extensive correspondence, especially with his brother Theo van Gogh, the dealer of his paintings, which contains a wealth of references to his painterly work and is itself of literary rank.
The teenager's first drawings can be found there, and Vincent sketched out many of the paintings in his letters to Theo.
