Vincent van Gogh, who was he really?

So much has been said about one of the greatest artists in world history, Vincent van Gogh. In part, quite different views regarding his person have been represented by various historians, who have even often completely contradicted each other.

But who was Vincent really? What kind of person was he? What kind of dreams and visions did he have? What were his fears and his worries? How did he see the world he painted? What kind of painting techniques did he prefer? How did he relate to other painters and styles? What did he want to express through his paintings?

The answers to these questions are provided by his letters (which are considered a masterpiece of art literature), quotes, and the paintings he left us. These are his words and deeds, which reflect his true nature and give us a glimpse into his inner life.

In this book, 100 of his most beautiful and famous paintings have been printed along with his numerous quotes, letters and sketches, which should allow the reader to get to know Vincent personally and form his own opinion about him and his art.

A short and entertaining biography focusing on the investigation of the scandalous and controversial incident in which Vincent lost a part of his ear, as well as on the investigation of the mysterious circumstances of his death, about which new findings have been made in each case, is also included in the book.
