Vincent Van Gogh
Gogh, Vincent (Willem) van, generally considered the greatest Dutch painter and draughtsman after
Rembrandt.

With
Cézanne and
Gauguin the greatest of Post-Impressionist artists. He powerfully influenced the current of
Expressionism in modern art. His work, all of it produced during a period of only 10 years, hauntingly conveys through its striking colour, coarse brushwork, and contoured forms the anguish of a mental illness that eventually resulted in suicide. Among his masterpieces are numerous self-portraits and the well-known
The Starry Night (1889).
