The Life and Works of Vincent van Gogh

Written by David Sasson


Continued from page 1

And yet one family welcomed Vincent and encouraged his work. In many respects,repparttar members ofrepparttar 147847 Roulin family were Vincent's only friends in Arles. Always challenged to find willing subjects for his portraits, Vincent foundrepparttar 147848 Roulins to be extremely accommodating and patient. In total, Van Gogh painted or sketched 25 works ofrepparttar 147849 Roulin family, including one of Augustine Roulin. Thanks torepparttar 147850 kindness shown toward this eccentric and troubled painter byrepparttar 147851 old postman, Joseph Roulin, and his family, Vincent was able to produce some of his most beloved works.

During Van Gogh’s period of illness he was confined first torepparttar 147852 Arles hospital, then torepparttar 147853 asylum at Saint-Rémy, where, in 1889, he paintedrepparttar 147854 swirling, climactic Starry Night. Starry Night is probably Vincent Van Gogh's most famous painting. Instantly recognizable because of its unique style, this work has beenrepparttar 147855 subject of poetry, fiction, CD-ROMs as well asrepparttar 147856 well known song "Vincent" or "Starry, Starry Night" by Don McLean.

While there's no denyingrepparttar 147857 popularity of Starry Night, it's also interesting to note that there is very little known about Vincent's own feelings toward this work. This is mainly due torepparttar 147858 fact that he only mentions it in his letters to Theo twice, and then only in passing. In his correspondence with his brother, Vincent would often discuss specific works in great detail, but not so inrepparttar 147859 case of Starry Night. Why? It's difficult to say. Some people have made stylistic comparisons to Vincent's other well-known and equally turbulent Seascape At Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer. Doesrepparttar 147860 tumultuous style of these works reflect a tortured mind? Or is there something more we can read withinrepparttar 147861 whorls Vincent's raging night sky? This is what makes Starry Night not only Vincent's most famous work, but also one of its most frequently interpreted in terms of its meaning and importance.

Some people have speculated aboutrepparttar 147862 eleven stars inrepparttar 147863 painting. While it's true that Vincent didn't haverepparttar 147864 same religious fervor in 1889 when he paintedrepparttar 147865 work as he did in his earlier years, there is a possibility thatrepparttar 147866 story of Joseph inrepparttar 147867 Old Testament may have had an influence onrepparttar 147868 composition ofrepparttar 147869 work.

'Look, I have had another dream' he said, 'I thought I sawrepparttar 147870 sun,repparttar 147871 moon and eleven stars, bowing to me.' -Genesis 37:9

Whateverrepparttar 147872 interpretations or underlying meanings, Starry Night stands out as one ofrepparttar 147873 most important works of art produced inrepparttar 147874 nineteenth century. After painting Wheatfield with Crows duringrepparttar 147875 last three months of his life in 1890, Van Gogh’s work began projecting ominous overtones of distress. Two days later, he shot himself, dying inrepparttar 147876 arms of his brother shortly after.

Some of Van Gogh’s other notable paintings include, The Seine Bridge at Asnières, Old Man With His Head In His Hands and The Reaper.
