Van Gogh. The Complete Paintings

Vincent van Gogh's legacy stands as one of art history's most compelling paradoxes. While museums worldwide now celebrate his genius through sold-out exhibitions and his paintings command record auction prices in the tens of millions, van Gogh himself struggled profoundly during his lifetime. He faced indifference from contemporary audiences alongside relentless mental health challenges—depression and anxiety that ultimately led to his death by suicide in 1890, just after turning 37. This definitive exploration of van Gogh's life and artistic vision combines an in-depth biographical study with a complete catalogue documenting all 871 of his paintings, offering readers an intimate understanding of the man behind the masterpieces.
