Renowned artist Vincent van Gogh, often referred to as a tortured artist, strove to convey his emotional and spiritual state in each of his artworks. Although he only sold one painting during his lifetime, Vincent van Gogh is now one of the most famous artists of all time. His canvases are characterized by densely applied, visible brushstrokes in a vibrant and lush color palette, emphasizing Van Gogh's personal expression in painting. Each painting immediately conveys how the artist saw each scene, interpreted through his eyes, mind and heart. This highly idiosyncratic and emotionally moving style has significantly influenced artists and art movements throughout the 20th century and to this day, and will ensure that Vincent van Gogh's importance extends far into the future.
