One of the most famed yet tragic figures of 19th‑century art, the name and work of Dutch painter Vincent van Gogh (1853–1890) is among the most well known and celebrated in the world. This Taschen published book delves deep into all 871 paintings by the artist, which are presented alongside writings and essays that offer insight into the life and work of a master who remains a household name to this day. Authored by Ingo F Walther (1940–2007) and Rainer Metzger, the lush tome presents a sensitive examination of the artist behind 'Sunflowers' and 'The Starry Night' as well as his dexterous representation of texture and mood, light and place.
