Vincent van Gogh (1853–1890) is one of the most popular and universally recognized artists of all time. Remarkably prolific, he produced approximately 900 paintings and 1,100 drawings during a career that spanned a mere decade. Deeply inspired by the sun-drenched landscape of southern France, Van Gogh developed his signature style, which is marked by lush impasto, energetic brushwork, and vibrant color.
