Винсент Ван Гог

Today Vincent Van Gogh is supposed to be one of the greatest Dutch painters. He was not famous, popular and rich while alive. Moreover, mr. Van Gogh remained poor and virtually unknown from the cradle to the grave.

The great artist was born in 1853, Netherlands. His style is applicable to post-impressionists’ movement and all his works are characterized by unique beauty, emotion and color. When he was a child painting was a hobby, but became a profession in the adulthood.  All his works were full of sun and good mood and nowadays people don’t understand why his paintings were not sold. Perhaps, it was caused by the specific feature of the artist’s style. 

He created the unusual mixture of impressionism and expressionism. It had rarely been done before, if two arts were combined. The most popular works of the artists are following:  ‘Starry Night’, ‘Sunflowers’, ‘Bedroom in Arles’, ‘Portrait of Dr Gachet’ and ‘Sorrow’. Most of them are regularly copied by beginning artists to learn how to draw. In certain circles Van Gogh is known as a crazy man, who, according to legend, bit his ear off. Van Gogh died in France on July 29, 1890, at age 37, from a sel

Биография ван гога на английском

Vincent Willem van Gogh a Dutch Post-Impressionist artist was born on 30 March 1853 in Groot-Zundert, a village close to Breda in the province of North Brabant in the southern Netherlands.

During his lifetime, Van Gogh's work was represented in two very small exhibitions and two larger ones. Only one of Van Gogh's paintings was sold while he lived. The great majority of the works by which he is remembered were produced in 29 months of frenzied activity and intermittent bouts with epileptoid seizures and profound despair that finally ended in suicide.

In his grim struggle Vincent had one constant ally and support, his younger brother Theo, to whom he wrote revealing and extraordinarily beautiful letters detailing his conflicts and aspirations. Ten years before his death Van Gogh decided to be a painter, fully conscious of the sacrifices this decision would require of him.

His early work, the Dutch period of 1880–85, consists of dark greenish-brown, heavily painted studies of peasants and miners, e.g., The Potato Eaters (1885; Van Gogh Mus., Amsterdam). He copied the work of Millet, whose idealization of the rural poor he admired. In
