 Vincent Willem van Gogh ( Dutch : [ ˈvɪnsɛnt ˈʋɪləm vɑn ˈɣɔx ] ; 30 March 1853 – 29 July 1890 ) was a Dutch Post @-@ Impressionist painter whose work had a far @-@ reaching influence on 20th @-@ century art . In just over a decade he produced over 2100 artworks , including around 860 oil paintings , the majority created in the last two years of his life . They include portraits , self @-@ portraits , landscapes , still lifes , olive trees , cypresses , wheat fields and sunflowers , and are characterised by symbolic colourisation and dramatic , impulsive and highly expressive paintwork . He sold only one painting during his lifetime and was largely unnoticed by critics until his suicide , aged 37 , which followed years of restless anxiety , poverty and mental illness .

 Vincent van Gogh is one of the most famous artists in the world , despite that he was virtually unrecognized during his lifetime . After his first exhibitions in the late 1880s , his reputation grew slowly but steadily among artists , art critics , dealers and collectors . In 1887 André Antoine installed Van Gogh 's paintings alongside Georges Seurat and Paul Signac , at the Théâtre Libre in Paris some of which were acquired by Julien Tanguy . In 1898 his work was described in " Le Moderniste " by the poet Albert Aurier as characterised by " fire , intensity , sunshine " .

 Born into an upper @-@ middle @-@ class family , Van Gogh drew as a child , was thoughtful and intellectual but evidenced signs of mental instability . He worked as an art dealer as a young man , but became depressed after he was transferred to London . He turned to religion , spending time as a preacher in southern Belgium , and later drifting in ill health and solitude . He was keenly aware of modernist trends in art , music and literature , and after moving back home with his parents , took up painting in 1881 ; supported financially by his younger brother Theo with whom he had a long correspondence of letters . His early works are mostly depictions of common and peasant labourers , and contain few signs of the vivid colourisation that distinguished his mature period . In 1886 he moved to Paris and discovered the French Impressionists . From then his paintings grew brighter in colour as he developed a style that became fully realised during his stay in Arles in 1888 . There he lived in the so @-@ called " Yellow house " , and with Paul Gauguin developed a concept of colour that would symbolise inner emotion .

 The landscape paintings of Dutch painter Johan Barthold Jongkind ( 1819 – 1891 ) influenced both Boudin and Monet and contributed to the development of early Impressionism . After meeting Jongkind in Sainte @-@ Adresse in 1862 , Monet began to cultivate an interest in Jongkind 's perspective on the changing conditions of the landscape . From Jongkind , Monet learned to substitute optical color for local color . " Complementing the teaching I received from Boudin , Jongkind was from that moment my true master , " Monet later reminisced . " It was he who completed the education of my eye " . This new way of seeing , a shift from a conceptual to a perceptual approach , formed the basis for Monet 's Haystacks ( 1890 @-@ 1891 ) , a series of 25 works showing the effects of dynamic atmospheric conditions over time on a single haystack motif .
