    Vincent van Gogh Summary of Van Gogh’s life Vincent van Gogh (30 March 1853 – 29 July 1890) was a Dutch Post- Impressionist painter who is among the most famous and influential figures in the history of Western art. In just over a decade he created about 2,100 artworks, including around 860 oil paintings. They include landscapes, still lifes, portraits and self-portraits, and are characterized by bold colors and dramatic, impulsive and expressive brushwork that contributed to the foundations of modern art. His suicide at 37 followed years of mental illness and poverty. Van Gogh was unsuccessful during his lifetime, and was considered a madman and a failure. He became famous after his suicide, and exists in the public imagination as the quintessential misunderstood genius, the artist "where discourses on madness and creativity converge". His reputation began to grow in the early 20th century as elements of his painting style came to be incorporated by the Fauves and the German Expressionists. He attained widespread critical, commercial and popular success over the ensuing decades, and is remembered as an important but tragic painter, whose troubled personality typifies the romantic ideal of the tortured artist. Some highlights of van Gogh’s work Artwork title Year created Location Van Gogh Museum, The potato Eaters 1885 Amsterdam Fishing Boats on the Van Gogh Museum, Beach at Saintes- June 1888 Amsterdam Maries Van Gogh Museum, Bedroom in Arles October 1888 Amsterdam Van Gogh Museum, Sunflowers 1889 Amsterdam Museum of Modern The Starry Night 1889 Art, New York City Van Gogh’s life in more detail Early years Vincent van Gogh was born on 30 March 1853 in Groot-Zundert, in the southern Netherlands.

  • Northern Italy: the Alps, Dolomites & Lombardy 2021
    YOUR O.A.T. ADVENTURE TRAVEL PLANNING GUIDE® Northern Italy: The Alps, Dolomites & Lombardy 2021 Small Groups: 8-16 travelers—guaranteed! (average of 13) Overseas Adventure Travel ® The Leader in Personalized Small Group Adventures on the Road Less Traveled 1 Dear Traveler, At last, the world is opening up again for curious travel lovers like you and me. And the O.A.T. Northern Italy: The Alps, Dolomites & Lombardy itinerary you’ve expressed interest in will be a wonderful way to resume the discoveries that bring us so much joy. You might soon be enjoying standout moments like these: In my mind, nothing is more idyllic than the mountainous landscapes and rural villages of Alpine Europe. To immerse myself in their pastoral traditions and everyday life, I love to explore rural communities like Teglio, a small village nestled in the Valtellina Valley. You’ll see what I mean when you experience A Day in the Life of a small, family-run farm here where you’ll have the opportunity to meet the owner, walk the grounds, lend a hand with the daily farm chores, and share a traditional meal with your hosts in the farmhouse. You’ll also get a taste for some of the other crafts in the Valley when you visit a locally-owned goat cheese producer and a water-powered mill. But the most moving stories of all were the ones I heard directly from the local people I met. You’ll meet them, too, and hear their personal experiences during a conversation with two political refugeees at a local café in Milan to discuss the deeply divisive issue of immigration in Italy.

Der junge Armand Roulin erhält den Auftrag, den Brief auszuhändigen. Zunächst widerwillig macht er sich auf den Weg, doch je mehr er über Vincent erfährt, desto faszinierender erscheint ihm der Maler, der zeit seines Lebens auf Unverständnis und Ablehnung stieß. War es am Ende gar kein Selbstmord? Entschlossen begibt sich Armand auf die Suche nach der Wahrheit. Pressenotiz LOVING VINCENT erweckt die einzigartigen Bilderwelten van Goghs zum Leben: 125 Künstler aus aller Welt kreierten mehr als 65.000 Einzelbilder für den ersten vollständig aus Ölgemälden erschaffenen Film.
