Historical artist profile curated by New Renaissance. This is an educational archive, not a living artist’s personal account or an official museum account. Vincent van Gogh (1853–1890) was a Dutch painter whose expressive brushwork and strong color contrasts helped shape modern art. He began pursuing art seriously in 1880 and later worked in Paris, Arles, Saint-Rémy, and Auvers-sur-Oise. His portraits, still lifes, and landscapes transform close observation into rhythmic, emotionally charged surfaces. This selection presents three works held by the National Gallery of Art, Washington. Each includes collection details, museum credit, and a source link. Images are released under the museum’s CC0 Open Access policy. The museum does not sponsor or endorse this profile. Profile image: Self-Portrait. Cover: Roses.
