At first, Vincent Van Gogh (1853-1890) was an important Dutch painter who marked history. With a little sociable personality, a restless, anguished person, he always questioned his existence, the condition of being in the world and the meaning of life. However, he was the type who spoke the truth nakedly, did not measure words and did not spare anyone to express himself. But since he was a child he was interested in observing nature and was fascinated by rare flowers.<\/p>\r\n

From a Protestant and bourgeois family, he tried to be a picture dealer, a book seller, a pastor and a missionary, but nothing worked. Until in 1880 he went to study art, in The Hague, in the Netherlands and began to paint from the observation of peasants, in their day-to-day lives.<\/p>\r\n

Paris<\/h3>\r\n

In 1886 he moved to Paris, where he met the impressionists and befriended some painters. Among them Toulouse-Lautrec and Gauguin. At that moment, he got in touch with the most important Parisian artistic events and came to the conclusion that painting should be an instrument of social transformation, true, alive, intense and passionate. As we can see, Van Gogh is driven by emotion.<\/p>\r\n

Arles<\/h3>\r\n

In 1888, he moved to Arles, a city of beautiful landscapes that impressed him a lot. Like C\u00e9zanne, he was connected to impressionism and liked Japanese prints. In Arles, for about two years, he produces a large quantity of masterpieces. Here are two examples:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
