Who Was Vincent van Gogh?

Vincent van Gogh was a post-Impressionist painter whose work — notable for its beauty, emotion and color — highly influenced 20th-century art. He struggled with mental illness and remained poor and virtually unknown throughout his life.

Early Life and Family

Van Gogh was born on March 30, 1853, in Groot-Zundert, Netherlands. Van Gogh’s father, Theodorus van Gogh, was an austere country minister, and his mother, Anna Cornelia Carbentus, was a moody artist whose love of nature, drawing and watercolors was transferred to her son.

Van Gogh was born exactly one year after his parents' first son, also named Vincent, was stillborn. At a young age — with his name and birthdate already etched on his dead brother's headstone — van Gogh was melancholy.

Theo van Gogh

The eldest of six living children, van Gogh had two younger brothers (Theo, who worked as an art dealer and supported his older brother’s art, and Cor) and three younger sisters (Anna, Elizabeth and Willemien).

Theo van Gogh would later play an important role in his older brother's life as a confidant, supporter and art dealer.

Early Life and Education

At age 15, van Gogh's family was struggling financially, and he was forced to leave school and go to work. He got a job at his Uncle Cornelis' art dealership, Goupil & Cie., a firm of art dealers in The Hague. By this time, van Gogh was fluent in French, German and English, as well as his native Dutch.

He also fell in love with his landlady's daughter, Eugenie Loyer. When she rejected his marriage proposal, van Gogh suffered a breakdown. He threw away all his books except for the Bible, and devoted his life to God. He became angry with people at work, telling customers not to buy the "worthless art," and was eventually fired.

Life as a Preacher

Van Gogh then taught in a Methodist boys' school, and also preached to the congregation. Although raised in a religious family, it wasn't until this time that he seriously began to consider devoting his life to the church

Hoping to become a minister, he prepared to take the entrance exam to the School of Theology in Amsterdam. After a year of studying diligently, he refused to take the Latin exams, calling Latin a "dead language" of poor people, and was subsequently denied entrance.

The same thing happened at the Church of Belgium: In the winter of 1878, van Gogh volunteered to move to an impoverished coal mine in the south of Belgium, a place where preachers were usually sent as punishment. He preached and ministered to the sick, and also drew pictures of the miners and their families, who called him "Christ of the Coal Mines."

The evangelical committees were not as pleased. They disagreed with van Gogh's lifestyle, which had begun to take on a tone of martyrdom. They refused to renew van Gogh's contract, and he was forced to find another occupation.

Finding Solace in Art

In the fall of 1880, van Gogh decided to move to Brussels and become an artist. Though he had no formal art training, his brother Theo offered to support van Gogh financially.

He began taking lessons on his own, studying books like Travaux des champs by Jean-François Millet and Cours de dessin by Charles Bargue.

Van Gogh's art helped him stay emotionally balanced. In 1885, he began work on what is considered to be his first masterpiece, "Potato Eaters." Theo, who by this time living in Paris, believed the painting would not be well-received in the French capital, where Impressionism had become the trend.

Nevertheless, van Gogh decided to move to Paris, and showed up at Theo's house uninvited. In March 1886, Theo welcomed his brother into his small apartment.

In Paris, van Gogh first saw Impressionist art, and he was inspired by the color and light. He began studying with Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec , Camille Pissarro and others.

To save money, he and his friends posed for each other instead of hiring models. Van Gogh was passionate, and he argued with other painters about their works, alienating those who became tired of his bickering.

Van Gogh's love life was nothing short of disastrous: He was attracted to women in trouble, thinking he could help them. When he fell in love with his recently widowed cousin, Kate, she was repulsed and fled to her home in Amsterdam.

Van Gogh then moved to The Hague and fell in love with Clasina Maria Hoornik, an alcoholic prostitute. She became his companion, mistress and model.

When Hoornik went back to prostitution, van Gogh became utterly depressed. In 1882, his family threatened to cut off his money unless he left Hoornik and The Hague.

Van Gogh left in mid-September of that year to travel to Drenthe, a somewhat desolate district in the Netherlands. For the next six weeks, he lived a nomadic life, moving throughout the region while drawing and painting the landscape and its people.

Van Gogh became influenced by Japanese art and began studying Eastern philosophy to enhance his art and life. He dreamed of traveling there, but was told by Toulouse-Lautrec that the light in the village of Arles was just like the light in Japan.

In February 1888, van Gogh boarded a train to the south of France. He moved into a now-famous "yellow house" and spent his money on paint rather than food.

Vincent van Gogh completed more than 2,100 works, consisting of 860 oil paintings and more than 1,300 watercolors, drawings and sketches.

Several of his paintings now rank among the most expensive in the world; "Irises" sold for a record $53.9 million, and his "Portrait of Dr. Gachet" sold for $82.5 million. A few of van Gogh’s most well-known artworks include:

'Starry Night'

Van Gogh painted "The Starry Night" in the asylum where he was staying in Saint-Rémy, France, in 1889, the year before his death. “This morning I saw the countryside from my window a long time before sunrise, with nothing but the morning star, which looked very big,” he wrote to his brother Theo.

A combination of imagination, memory, emotion and observation, the oil painting on canvas depicts an expressive swirling night sky and a sleeping village, with a large flame-like cypress, thought to represent the bridge between life and death, looming in the foreground. The painting is currently housed at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, NY.

'Sunflowers'

Van Gogh painted two series of sunflowers in Arles, France: four between August and September 1888 and one in January 1889; the versions and replicas are debated among art historians.

The oil paintings on canvas, which depict wilting yellow sunflowers in a vase, are now displayed at museums in London, Amsterdam, Tokyo, Munich and Philadelphia.

In 1889, after entering an asylum in Saint-Rémy, France, van Gogh began painting Irises, working from the plants and flowers he found in the asylum's garden. Critics believe the painting was influenced by Japanese woodblock prints.

French critic Octave Mirbeau, the painting's first owner and an early supporter of Van Gogh, remarked, "How well he has understood the exquisite nature of flowers!"

'Self-Portrait'

Over the course of 10 years, van Gogh created more than 43 self-portraits as both paintings and drawings. "I am looking for a deeper likeness than that obtained by a photographer," he wrote to his sister.

"People say, and I am willing to believe it, that it is hard to know yourself. But it is not easy to paint yourself, either. The portraits painted by Rembrandt are more than a view of nature, they are more like a revelation,” he later wrote to his brother.

Van Gogh's self-portraits are now displayed in museums around the world, including in Washington, D.C., Paris, New York and Amsterdam.

Van Gogh's Ear

In December 1888, van Gogh was living on coffee, bread and absinthe in Arles, France, and he found himself feeling sick and strange.

Before long, it became apparent that in addition to suffering from physical illness, his psychological health was declining. Around this time, he is known to have sipped on turpentine and eaten paint.

His brother Theo was worried, and he offered Paul Gauguin money to go watch over Vincent in Arles. Within a month, van Gogh and Gauguin were arguing constantly, and one night, Gauguin walked out. Van Gogh followed him, and when Gauguin turned around, he saw van Gogh holding a razor in his hand.

Hours later, van Gogh went to the local brothel and paid for a prostitute named Rachel. With blood pouring from his hand, he offered her his ear, asking her to "keep this object carefully."

The police found van Gogh in his room the next morning, and admitted him to the Hôtel-Dieu hospital. Theo arrived on Christmas Day to see van Gogh, who was weak from blood loss and having violent seizures.

The doctors assured Theo that his brother would live and would be taken good care of, and on January 7, 1889, van Gogh was released from the hospital.

He remained, however, alone and depressed. For hope, he turned to painting and nature, but could not find peace and was hospitalized again. He would paint at the yellow house during the day and return to the hospital at night.

Van Gogh decided to move to the Saint-Paul-de-Mausole asylum in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence after the people of Arles signed a petition saying that he was dangerous.

On May 8, 1889, he began painting in the hospital gardens. In November 1889, he was invited to exhibit his paintings in Brussels. He sent six paintings, including "Irises" and "Starry Night."

On January 31, 1890, Theo and his wife, Johanna, gave birth to a boy and named him Vincent Willem van Gogh after Theo's brother. Around this time, Theo sold van Gogh's "The Red Vineyards" painting for 400 francs.

Also around this time, Dr. Paul Gachet, who lived in Auvers, about 20 miles north of Paris, agreed to take van Gogh as his patient. Van Gogh moved to Auvers and rented a room.

On July 27, 1890, Vincent van Gogh went out to paint in the morning carrying a loaded pistol and shot himself in the chest, but the bullet did not kill him. He was found bleeding in his room.

Van Gogh was distraught about his future because, in May of that year, his brother Theo had visited and spoke to him about needing to be stricter with his finances. Van Gogh took that to mean Theo was no longer interested in selling his art.

Van Gogh was taken to a nearby hospital and his doctors sent for Theo, who arrived to find his brother sitting up in bed and smoking a pipe. They spent the next couple of days talking together, and then van Gogh asked Theo to take him home.

On July 29, 1890, Vincent van Gogh died in the arms of his brother Theo. He was only 37 years old.

Theo, who was suffering from syphilis and weakened by his brother's death, died six months after his brother in a Dutch asylum. He was buried in Utrecht, but in 1914 Theo's wife, Johanna, who was a dedicated supporter of van Gogh's works, had Theo's body reburied in the Auvers cemetery next to Vincent.

Theo's wife Johanna then collected as many of van Gogh's paintings as she could, but discovered that many had been destroyed or lost, as van Gogh's own mother had thrown away crates full of his art.

On March 17, 1901, 71 of van Gogh's paintings were displayed at a show in Paris, and his fame grew enormously. His mother lived long enough to see her son hailed as an artistic genius. Today, Vincent van Gogh is considered one of the greatest artists in human history.

Van Gogh Museum

In 1973, the Van Gogh Museum opened its doors in Amsterdam to make the works of Vincent van Gogh accessible to the public. The museum houses more than 200 van Gogh paintings, 500 drawings and 750 written documents including letters to Vincent’s brother Theo. It features self-portraits, “The Potato Eaters,” “The Bedroom” and “Sunflowers.”

In September 2013, the museum discovered and unveiled a van Gogh painting of a landscape entitled "Sunset at Montmajour.” Before coming under the possession of the Van Gogh Museum, a Norwegian industrialist owned the painting and stored it away in his attic, having thought that it wasn't authentic.

The painting is believed to have been created by van Gogh in 1888 — around the same time that his artwork "Sunflowers" was made — just two years before his death.

Biography of Vincent van Gogh

Vincent van Gogh

Van Gogh received a fragmentary education: one year at the village school in Zundert, two years at a boarding school in Zevenbergen, and eighteen months at a high school in Tilburg. At sixteen he began working at the Hague gallery of the French art dealers Goupil et Cie., in which his uncle Vincent was a partner. His brother Theo, who was born 1 May 1857, later worked for the same firm. In 1873 Goupil's transferred Vincent to London, and two years later they moved him to Paris, where he lost all ambition to become an art dealer. Instead, he immersed himself in religion, threw out his modern, worldly book, and became "daffy with piety", in the words of his sister Elisabeth. He took little interest in his work, and was dismissed from his job at the beginning of 1876.

Van Gogh then took a post as an assistant teacher in England, but, disappointed by the lack of prospects, returned to Holland at the end of the year. He now decided to follow in his father's footsteps and become a clergyman. Although disturbed by his fanaticism and odd behavior, his parents agreed to pay for the private lessons he would need to gain admission to the university. This proved to be another false start. Van Gogh abandoned the lessons, and after brief training as an evangelist went to the Borinage coal-mining region in the south of Belgium. His ministry among the miners led him to identify deeply with the workers and their families. In 1897, however, his appointment was not renewed, and his parents despaired, regarding him as a social misfit. In an unguarded moment, his father even spoke of committing him to a mental asylum.

Vincent, too, was at his wits' end, and after a long period of solitary soul-searching in the Borinage he decided to follow Theo's advice and become an artist. His earlier desire to help his fellowman was an evangelist gradually developed into an urge, as he later wrote, to leave mankind "some memento in the form of drawings of paintings - not made to please any particular movement, but to express a sincere human feeling."

His parents could not go along with this latest change of course, and financial responsibility for Vincent passed to his brother Theo, who was now working in the Paris gallery of Boussod, Valadon et Cie., the successor to Goupil's. It was because of Theo's loyal support that Van Gogh later came to regard his oeuvre as the fruits of his brother's efforts on his behalf. A lengthy correspondence between the two brothers (which began in August 1872) would continue until the last days of Vincent's life.

When Van Gogh decided to become an artist, no one, not even himself, suspected that he had extraordinary gifts. His evolution from an inept but impassioned novice into a truly original master was remarkably rapid. He eventually proved to have an exceptional feel for bold, harmonious color effects, and an infallible instinct for choosing simple but memorable compositions.

In order to prepare for his new career, Van Gogh went to Brussels to study at the academy, but left after only nine months. There he got to know Anthon van Rappard, who was to be his most important artist friend during his Dutch period.

In April 1881, Van Gogh went to live with his parents in Etten in North Brabant, where he set himself the task of learning how to draw. He experimented endlessly with all sorts of drawing materials, and concentrated on mastering technical aspects of his craft like perspective, anatomy, and physiognomy. Most of his subjects were taken from peasant life.

At the end of 1881 he moved to The Hague, and there, too, he concentrated mainly on drawing. At first he took lessons from Anton Mauve, his cousin by marriage, but the two soon fell out, partly because Mauve was scandalized by Vincent's relationship with Sien Hoornik, a pregnant prostitute who already had an illegitimate child. Van Gogh made a few paintings while in The Hague , but drawing was his main passion. In order to achieve his ambition of becoming a figure painter, he drew from the live model whenever he could.

In September 1883 he decided to break off the relationship with Sien and follow in the footsteps of artists like Van Rappard and Mauve by trying his luck in the picturesque eastern province of Drenthe, which was fairly inaccessible in those days. After three months, however, a lack of both drawing materials and models forced him to leave. He decided once again to move in with his parents, who were now living in the North Brabant village of Nuenen, near Eindhoven.

In Nuenen, Van Gogh first began painting regularly, modeling himself chiefly on the French painter Jean-Francois Millet (1814 - 1875), who was famous throughout Europe for his scenes of the harsh life of peasants. Van Gogh set to work with an iron will, depicting the life of the villagers and humble workers. he made numerous scenes of weavers. In May 1884, he moved into rooms he had rented from the sacristan of local Catholic church, one of which he used as his studio.

At the end of 1884 he began painting and drawing a major series of heads and work-roughened peasant hands in preparation for a large and complex figure piece that he was planning. In April 1885 this period of study came to fruition in the masterpiece of his Dutch period, The Potato Eaters

In the summer of that year, he made a large number of drawings of the peasants working in the fields. The supply of models dried up, however, when the local priest forbade his parishioners to pose for the vicar's son. He turned to painting landscape instead, inspired in part by a visit to recently opened Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.

I feel - a failure. That's it as far as I'm concerned - I feel that this is the destiny that I accept, that will never change. ”

He nevertheless continued working hard during his two months in Auvers, producing dozens of paintings and drawings. On 27 July 1890, Vincent van Gogh was shot in the stomach, and passed away in the early morning of 29 July 1890 in his room at the Auberge Ravoux in the village of Auvers-sur-Oise. Although official history maintains that Van Gogh committed suicide, the latest research reveals that Van Gogh's death might be caused by an accident.

Theo, who had stored the bulk of Vincent's work in Paris, died six months later. His widow, Johanna van Gogh-Bonger (1862 - 1925), returned to Holland with the collection, and dedicated herself to getting her brother-in-law the recognition he deserved. In 1914, with his fame assured, she published Vincent van Gogh's letters between the two brothers.

Why We Connect with Vincent van Gogh’s Paintings

Van Gogh was a troubled soul and master painter who relied on his emotions and color to create art that continues to attract millions of viewers.

With the advent of digitization, art has become more accessible to the masses than ever before. While the world of NFTs and crypto art may not appeal to everyone, they can certainly engage with digitized versions of art with which they are already familiar. Dutch post-impressionist painter Vincent van Gogh’s work , with its distinctive use of color and unique methodology of form, lends itself particularly well to digitization.

Despite being one of the most renowned artists of the modern age, Van Gogh only received recognition after his 1890 death by suicide at age thirty-seven. In a 1962–63 paper published in the Bulletin of the Detroit Institute of the Arts , Professor of Art History at the University of Chicago, Joshua C Taylor, argues that Van Gogh’s work was based on his emotions and therefore resonates with viewers decades after his death . Taylor highlights Van Gogh’s “brief but intense career as a painter,” which made him adept at making a “painting that would project through its own sensuous form the emotion and vitality of a creative life.”

After a period of capturing the vagaries of the human condition through his dark and depressive portraits of peasant life, Van Gogh lived in Paris during the height of the Impressionist era . Hence, he “respond[ed] to the new color sensations with an intensity equal to that which he had first associated with religion, then with his awareness of the raw humanity of the wretchedly poor,” Taylor writes.

“I believe in the absolute necessity for a new art of color, of design and—of artistic life,” Van Gogh claimed. “And if we work in that faith, it seems to me there is a chance that our hope is not vain.”

Guests view the Immersive Van Gogh Exhibit during a media preview at SVN West on March 16, 2021 in San Francisco, California.

In his letters to his beloved brother Theo, Van Gogh wrote of being fascinated with the discovery of these colors:

I am always in the hope to express the love of two lovers by a marriage of two complementary colors, their mingling and their opposition, the mysterious vibrations of kindred tones. To express the thought of a brow by the radiance of a light tone against a sombre background.

Taylor argues that this new-found interest in vibrant color and form gave Van Gogh an insight into human values and the will to preserve them for posterity in a way that his previous exposure to religion and social work had not. As Vincent wrote to Theo,

[I]n a picture, I want to give something comforting as music is comforting. I want to paint men and women with that something of the eternal that the halo used to symbolize, and which we seek to give by the actual radiance and vibration of our colors.

It is this new and exciting quality that holds the viewer’s attention in Van Gogh’s work. As Taylor describes it, “Flowers burgeon with exhilarating energy, trees pulsate with life, and the world becomes live with a constantly renewing creative force.” He believes that Van Gogh’s presence in the paintings is inextricably linked with the viewer’s personal experience, and therefore Van Gogh’s self becomes an extension of the viewer.

Vincent Van Gogh’s Artistic Vision: Examining His Signature Art Style

Antoni A

Vincent van Gogh , a name synonymous with passionate expression, intense colors, and emotive landscapes, remains a towering figure in the art world. His art, characterized by its bold and innovative techniques, continues to captivate audiences worldwide. In this exploration, we’ll delve into the unique traits that define Van Gogh’s art style , segmenting our journey into distinct sections for a thorough understanding.

Table of Contents

The Post-Impressionism Movement

Van Gogh’s work is often associated with the Post-Impressionism movement, a term coined to describe the development of French art since Manet. Post-Impressionism is not a style but rather a collective term for various individualistic styles that evolved in reaction to the Impressionists’ concern with the naturalistic depiction of light and color. Van Gogh, like other Post-Impressionists, moved beyond Impressionism and experimented with bold colors, symbolic meanings, and expressive, often distorted forms—a journey towards more emotional, psychological depth in art.

Expressive Use of Color

presentation about van gogh

One of the most striking aspects of Van Gogh’s paintings is his use of color. He didn’t just use color to represent reality; he used it to convey emotions. His palette became brighter and more vibrant over the years. The intense yellows in “ Sunflowers ” or the deep blues and greens in “ Starry Night ” are not just mere representations of these objects but are charged with emotional significance. Van Gogh’s colors vibrate with life and energy, a testament to his ability to transform the mundane into something extraordinary.

Emotive Brushwork

Van Gogh’s brushwork is another hallmark of his style. He often applied paint thickly, using bold, impulsive strokes that add a sense of dynamism and movement to his work. This technique, known as impasto, creates a texture that seems to bring his paintings to life. Each brushstroke carries an emotional weight, making the viewer feel the turbulence or tranquility depicted in the scene. This textured surface adds a three-dimensional quality to his work, making it feel almost sculptural.

Symbolism and Subject Matter

presentation about van gogh

Van Gogh’s choice of subjects was often loaded with symbolism. He was drawn to scenes of nature, night skies, fields, and ordinary people, like the famous “ The Potato Eaters .” These subjects were not chosen for their aesthetic value alone but for what they represented to Van Gogh emotionally and philosophically. His paintings of starry nights, for example, are not just literal depictions but are imbued with feelings of awe, wonder, and a touch of melancholy.

Contours and Lines

presentation about van gogh

The use of lines in Van Gogh’s work is another distinctive feature. He often used swirling lines to create dynamic, almost hypnotic compositions. These lines contribute to the overall feeling of movement and energy in his paintings. In “ Starry Night ,” the swirling skies create a dream-like atmosphere that transcends the ordinary experience of a night sky. The lines are not just decorative but are integral to the painting’s emotional impact.

Light and Shadow

Van Gogh’s approach to light and shadow was unconventional. He often exaggerated these elements to enhance the emotional effect of his paintings. His play with light and shadow is not just a technical skill but a narrative device that helps communicate the mood of the scene. In paintings like “ Café Terrace at Night ,” the contrast between the bright café and the dark street emphasizes the coziness and warmth of the café in the cool, expansive night.

Emotional Intensity

Above all, Van Gogh’s paintings are profoundly emotional. His works are a direct reflection of his internal state, full of turmoil, joy, and a deep sense of empathy for the human condition. This emotional intensity makes his work incredibly powerful and relatable, transcending time and cultural boundaries.

Van Gogh · New presentation of the artist's works at the Musée d'Orsay

presentation about van gogh

Since February 6, 2024, the Musée d'Orsay has been offering visitors a new presentation of works by Vincent van Gogh in rooms 36 and 37. Located at the end of the Impressionist gallery, this new space offers better conditions for visiting and contemplating the artist's works. To highlight the paintings, the picture rails are painted blue, echoing the colors used by the artist on his canvases. These larger rooms, more conducive to wandering, present Vincent van Gogh's career in France through his paintings: Paris, Arles and Auvers-sur-Oise. They also show the special bond that developed between the painter and Docteur Gachet in the last weeks of his life.

“The aim of the new presentation is to give greater visibility to Van Gogh's works, which are so popular with visitors.” Personne citée Jean-Rémi Touzet, Paint curator

Room 36 · Vincent van Gogh in France (1886-1890)

Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890), born in the Netherlands, was 33 when he arrived in Paris in 1886. His style changed as he came into contact with impressionist painting and the young artists he met, including Paul Signac and Émile Bernard, who were seeking to invent an art in which colour and simplicity of drawing took precedence.

In 1888, tired of the hustle and bustle of Paris, he settled in sunny Arles. He intended to found a colony of artists. Despite the graphic and luminous power of his paintings, his project was a failure that plunged him into disarray. He mutilated his ear and was committed in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, where he continued to paint despite his episodes.

At the end of May 1890, he made a fresh start in Auvers-sur-Oise, an artists’ village near Paris. He worked intensely, but soon lost all illusions of recovery and artistic recognition. On 27 July, he took his own life by shooting himself in the chest.

Playing with variations of brushstrokes and harmonies of colour, Van Gogh compared his art to music, a “consoling art” and the expression of a personal vision.

Room 37 · The Paul Gachet collection

When Van Gogh decided to leave the hospital in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, convinced that he had caught “a southern disease”, he expressed a wish to be taken in by the Impressionist painter Camille Pissarro. Pissarro refused, but suggested that he go to Auvers-sur-Oise, a village frequented by artists where the doctor Paul Gachet (1828-1909) practised.

presentation about van gogh

A doctor specialising in “melancholy” and nervous illnesses, Gachet monitored Van Gogh’s state of health. An amateur painter and engraver himself, under the pseudonym of Paul Van Ryssel, he was close to the Impressionists, from whom he bought several paintings, notably by Cézanne, Guillaumin, Monet and Renoir. Gachet was one of the first art lovers to collect works by Van Gogh. He posed for the painter, who gave him a number of works, and he obtained others from Theo van Gogh after his death. He owned up to twenty-seven paintings, twenty drawings and three prints by the artist.

Heirs to their father’s collection, Marguerite Gachet (1869-1949) and Paul Gachet junior (1873-1962) donated it to the Musée du Louvre between 1949 and 1954, where it remained until the opening of the Musée d’Orsay.

Maler und Zeichner der besonderen Art Vincent van Gogh Gogh, Vincent Willem

Gliederung • Geburt und Familie • Schule • Jugend • Sein Leben als Erwachsener • Tod • Besonderheiten seiner Kunst • Auswirkungen auf Heute

Geburt und Familie • Geburt: Vincent van Gogh wurde am 30.3.1853um 16 Uhr in den Niederlanden geboren, genauer gesagt in Groot-Zundert. • Familie: Seine Eltern waren Theodorus und Anna-Cornelia Gogh, er hatte ebenfalls reichlich Geschwister. Theodore Vincent, Elisabeth-Huberta, Wilhelmina Jacoba, Anna Cornelia und Cornelis Vincent. • Info: Vincent war das erste lebende Kind in der Familie, vor ihm wurde ebenfalls ein Vincent-Willem Gogh geboren, welcher aber eine Totgeburt.

Schule Eingeschult wurde Vincent 1861 in der Dorfschule Zundert. In der Schule blieb er jedoch nicht lange, er bekam später Hausunterricht von einer Gouvernante. Der nun 11jährige Vincent verlässt Zundert und besucht das Internat „Jan Provily“, wo er herzlich aufgenommen wurde. Während seiner Schulzeit erlitt er sein 2tes Träume. Neben seinem Stellvertreterdaseins, wurde er nun auch noch von zu Hause weg geschickt und in ein Internat gebracht. Im September 1866 ging er in die stattliche Internatsschule des Königs Wilhelm in Tilburg. Diesmal wohnte er nicht in dem Internat sondern, bei Familie Hannik. Ab dem 13. Juli 1869 bekam er eine Stelle bei der Pariser Bildergalerie Goupil & Cie

Jugend In seiner Jugend hatte Vincent es ebenfalls sehr schwer, seine Familie zog nach Helvoirt und er ging nach Den Haag. 1872 besucht ihn dort sein Bruder Theo, dies war der Beginn des Briefwechsels unter den beiden. 1873 sollte Vincent zum Militärsdienst, wo seine Vater ihn für 625 Gulden freikaufte. Im Mai 1873 wurde Vincent in eine Londoner Filiale versetzt. Dort traf er auf die damals 19jährige Eugenie, in die er sich verliebte. Als Vincent sie heiraten wollte, kam heraus, dass sie bereits verlobt war. Dies war wieder ein großer Schock für ihn und er ging nach Helvoirt, zu einen Eltern. Kurz nach Weihnachten 1874 ging er zurück nach London, um der Liebe noch eine Chance zugeben. Dies war jedoch vergeblich, worauf er wieder in die Pariser Bildergalerie Goupil & Cie ging. (auch Stammhaus genannt)

Sein Leben als Erwachsener Im Stammhaus vernachlässigte er die Arbeit und widmete sich Bibelstudien und besuchte häufig Gallerien. Vincent began nun viel zu lesen und zog sich mehr und mehr zurück. Im April 1876 schließt das Stammhaus Goupil & Cie und die Nachfolger schmeißen Vincent raus. Er probierte sich nun an verschiedenen Sachen. Wie zum Beispiel als Hilfsprediger, Hilfslehrer und Erzieher. Ende Dezember 1870 ging Vincent zurück zu seinen Eltern. Am 9. Mai 1877 machte er in Amsterdam Vorstudien für ein Theologiestudium, was er aber nach kurzer Zeit abbrach, da er kein Sinn in den Fächern sah. Dasselbe Problem hatte er in der Evangelistenschule und brach diese ab. Die Interesse an der Kunst wurde zu dieser Zeit immer größer, doch er ging nach Brüssel und probierte sich dort als Prediger, wobei er auch kein Erfolg hatte.

Sein Leben als Erwachsener In Brüssel lernte er nun an der Kunstakademie anatomisches und perspektivisches Zeichnen. Er widmete sich nun ganz der Zeichner- und Malerei. Nach der Kunstakademie ging er mit 27 Jahren wieder zurück zu seinen Eltern, wo er seine ersten Zeichnungen verkaufte. Er begann nun wieder Landschaften zu Zeichnen Weihnachten 1881 verliebte er sich in seine Cousine, die ihn aber hängen lies. Im Jahr 1882 versuchte er sich an Blei und Kohlstiften und probierte Sepiazeichnungen und Temperatechnik anzuwenden. 1883 verliebte er sich in Sien eine schwangere Prostituierte.

Sein Leben als Erwachsener 1884 - 1885 entstehen von ihm zahlreiche Aquarelle, fast um die 200 Stück. Am 27. März 1885 stirbt sein Vater Theodurs an einem Schlag anfall. Er bekommt nichts von seinem Erbe, da die Besuche der Malschulen soviel gekostet hatten. Von Mai – April 1885 entsteht das Hauptbild seiner Holländischen Peridoe „Die Kartoffelesser“

Sein Leben als Erwachsener Im März 1886 studiert er im Atelier Cormon. 1888 verlässt Vincent Paris und geht nach Arles, bei dem Umzug bemerkte er das er in dieser Zeit über 200 Bilder malte. Im März 1888 gelang ihm der Durchbruch. Er konnte im „Salon des Artistes Independants“ 3 Bilder ausstellen. Er begann nun mit seiner Kunst Geld zu verdienen und konnte sich mit der Malerei, die Hälfte eines Hauses leisten. Im September 1888 malte er wohl eines seiner berühmtesten Bilder „Nacht Cafe“

Sein Leben als Erwachsener 1888 besuchte Gauguin Vincent, sie malten, kochten und lebten zusammen. Eines nachts kam es zu einem Streit wegen verschiedenen Meinungen. Vincent erlitt darauf einen Schock und schnitt sich die untere hälfte seinen Ohrs ab. Er kommt in ein Krankenhaus und später in eine Irrenanstalt, wo er mehrere Selbstmordversuche startete. Van Goghs Kunst wurde immer berühmter, doch er wurde mit seinem Leben immer unzufriedener. Eines abends beobachteten seine Nachbarn wie er nachhause kam, er hatte schmerzen und war völlig aufgelöst. Am nächsten Morgen stellte man fest, dass er Tot war. Er hatte sich schon am Abend zuvor in die Brust geschossen, weil er dachte das Theos Frau „Jo“ ein Keil zwischen ihn und seinen Bruder drängte.

Beerdigung Am 29 Juli 1890 um 1:30 Uhr stirbt er. Am 30 Juli 1890 wird er beigesetzt. Neben Theo und Dr. Gachet kamen auch Bernard, Bonger, Pissaro, Lauzet, Laval und Tanguy zur Beerdigung. Dr. Gachet sagte bei Vincents Grabrede unter anderem auch: "Er kannte nur zwei Ziele: die Menschlichkeit und die Kunst." Dies war das Ende eines Künstlers, welcher sich selber „Vincent der Holländer“ nannte.

Besonderheiten seiner Kunst Er war ein sehr engagierter Künstler. Er erfand komplett neue leuchtende Farbvisionen, die spätere Künstler übernahmen. Seine Gemälde waren sehr farbenfroh und seine Zeichnungen sehr genau. Die meisten Bilder von ihm erzählen über sein Leben, bei genauerem hinsehen kann man auch in fast jedem Bild eine Geschichte erkennen.

Auswirkungen auf Heute Durch seine Art und Weise wie er damals malte, entstehen noch heute Gemälde. Es werden viele seiner Motive benutzt um Tücher oder Bettbezüge herzustellen. Ebenso werden viele Bücher über ihn geschrieben, die sein Leben beschreiben oder die seine Kunst darstellen. Bis hin zu Kinderbüchern die Kinder Inspirationen zum malen geben sollen. Ein bekanntes Buch für Kinder ist zum Beispiel „Vincent van Gogh – Kunst für Kinder“, dort wird am Anfang viel zu van Goghs leben gesagt und später die wichtigsten und die schönsten Bilder von ihm gezeigt. In vielen Bildern stecken Informationen, die man in der Schule oder später im Beruf benutzen kann.
