Today, he is celebrated the world over as one of the most important painters of all time, recognized with sell-out exhibitions, feted museums, and record-breaking auction prices reaching tens of millions of dollars. Yet as he was painting the canvases that would become these modern masterpieces, van Gogh was battling not only the disinterest of his contemporary audiences but also devastating bouts of mental illness—episodes of depression and paralyzing anxiety that would eventually claim his life in 1890, when he took his own life shortly after his 37th birthday.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eConsidered a founding father of modern painting, Vincent van Gogh (1853–1890) remains one of the most famed and tragic figures in art history. This comprehensive study pairs a detailed monograph on his life and art with a complete catalogue of his 871 paintings, offering an unparalleled look at the artist's extraordinary body of work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the sun-drenched fields of Arles to the swirling night skies that have become iconic, from his early somber palette to the explosive color that defined his later years, this volume traces van Gogh's evolution as an artist and the profound emotional intensity that fueled his creative vision. It is both a tribute to his genius and a window into the torment that shaped one of the most influential painters the world has ever known.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Authors\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIngo F.
