Welcome to our World’s Greatest Artist study on Van Gogh!
Vincent Van Gogh was born in 1853 in the southern Netherlands.
He had many jobs, but was most noted for his work as a Dutch
post-impressionist painter. He was known for the emotional
impact created by the use of brush stroke and intense color in
his art work. Van Gogh’s thoughts on art are recorded in
hundreds of letters he exchanged with his brother Theo, an art
dealer. It was not until after his death in 1890 that his works
became famous. Today he is widely regarded as one of history’s
greatest painters and important contributor of modern art. This
