Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890) was a Dutch post-impressionist painter. Although today he is highly regarded, during his lifetime he received little recognition and only sold one painting. His sunflower series may be his most popular work, but he was prolific, completing more than 800 paintings in ten years.

Biography: Vincent van Gogh

Van Gogh “was a post-impressionist painter whose work, notable for its beauty, emotion and color, highly influenced 20th-century art. He struggled with mental illness, and remained poor and virtually unknown throughout his life.” Visit Biography for five van Gogh videos, and an accompanying biography.

Van Gogh painted five variations of his famous Sunflowers. Since his death, these five paintings now hang in five different museums around the world. In this virtual gallery, you can see them all side-by-side, and scroll back and forth between them as you listen to the narration of Willem van Gogh, great-grandson of Vincent’s brother Theo.
