Vincent Willem van Gogh 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 unnoticedby critics until his suicide; aged 37; which followed years of restless anxiety; poverty and mental illness.
