Vincent 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 about 2,100 artworks, including around 860 oil paintings.

The striking color, emphatic brushwork, and contoured forms of his work greatly influenced the current of Expressionism in modern art. His art became popular after his death, especially in the late 20th century.

Van Gogh’s works include landscapes, still lifes, portraits and self-portraits. However, he was not commercially successful and his suicide at 37 followed years of mental illness and poverty.
