The Letters of Vincent Van Gogh

“The Letters of Vincent van Gogh” offers an intimate and poignant glimpse into the mind of one of the world’s most celebrated artists. Born in 1853 in the Netherlands, Vincent van Gogh’s life was marked by periods of intense creativity, profound emotional struggles, and ultimately, tragedy. He worked as an art dealer, teacher, and even a lay preacher before dedicating himself fully to painting. His artistic career, though brief, was incredibly prolific, producing over 900 paintings in just over a decade. This collection of letters, primarily written to his brother Theo, provides invaluable insight into his artistic process, his thoughts on art and life, and the deep well of emotions that fueled his work.
