<p>Today, the works of <strong>Vincent van Gogh </strong>(1853¿1890) are among the most well known and celebrated in the world. In paintings such as <em>Sunflowers</em>, <em>The Starry Night</em>, and <em>Self-Portrait with Bandaged Ear</em>, we recognize an artist <strong>uniquely dexterous in the representation of texture and mood, light and place</strong>.<br/><br/> Yet in his lifetime, van Gogh battled not only the disinterest of his contemporary audience but also <strong>devastating bouts of mental illness</strong>. His episodes of depression and anxiety would eventually claim his life, when, in 1890, he committed suicide shortly after his 37th birthday.<br/><br/> This comprehensive study of Vincent van Gogh <strong>offers a complete catalogue of his 871 paintings</strong>, <strong>alongside writings and essays</strong>, charting the life and work of a master who continues to tower over art to this day.</p>
