Vincent van Gogh ▸ Facts ▸ Comments ▸ News ▸ Videos
Vincent Willem van Gogh was a Dutch Post-Impressionist painter who is among the most famous and influential figures in the history of Western art. In just over a decade, he created approximately 2100 artworks, including around 860 oil paintings, most of them in the last two years of his life. His oeuvre includes landscapes, still lifes, portraits, and self-portraits, most of which are characterized by bold colors and dramatic brushwork that contributed to the rise of expressionism in modern art. Van Gogh's work was beginning to gain critical attention before he died at age 37, by what was suspected at the time to be a suicide. In more recent years, many historians and researchers have come to believe that he most likely died due to homicide. During his lifetime, only one of Van Gogh's paintings, The Red Vineyard, was sold.
