Description

Like Two Poplars in the Alpilles near Saint-Rémy, Vincent van Gogh painted this autumnal landscape while living in a psychiatric hospital near Saint-Rémy in southern France where he was treated for severe depression. Understanding that painting from nature eased his symptoms, Van Gogh’s physician permitted the artist to paint landscapes outside. Van Gogh described this painting in a letter to his brother Theo: “The last study I did is a view of the village, where they were at work under some enormous plane trees - repairing the pavements... There are heaps of sand, stones, and the gigantic trunks - the leaves yellowing and here and there you can get a glimpse of a house front and small figures.”

"I am always doing what I cannot do yet in order to learn how to do it."

Vincent Willem van Gogh was a Dutch Post-Impressionist painter who is among the most famous and influential figures in the history of Western art. In just over a decade, he created approximately 2100 artworks, including around 860 oil paintings, most of them in the last two years of his life.

Born: 30 March 1853, Zundert, Netherlands Died: 29 July 1890 (age 37 years), Auvers-sur-Oise, France

Vincent Willem van Gogh sold only one painting during his lifetime: Despite his immense talent and contribution to art, van Gogh struggled financially throughout his life and only managed to sell one painting, "The Red Vineyard," while he was alive.

He worked as an art dealer before becoming an artist: Prior to pursuing a career in art, van Gogh worked as an art dealer for the firm Goupil & Cie in The Hague, London, and Paris. This experience influenced his understanding of the art market but did not bring him personal success.

Van Gogh's artistic career spanned only about a decade: Despite his relatively short career, van Gogh produced an astonishing number of artworks, estimated at over 2,000 pieces, including paintings, drawings, and sketches.

He struggled with mental illness and spent time in psychiatric hospitals: Van Gogh's mental health issues plagued him throughout his life, and he experienced several breakdowns. In 1889, after a particularly severe episode where he mutilated his own ear, he voluntarily admitted himself to the Saint-Paul-de-Mausole asylum in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, where he continued to paint some of his most famous works.

The circumstances surrounding his death remain mysterious: Van Gogh's death in 1890 at the age of 37 was officially ruled a suicide, as he died from a gunshot wound to the chest. However, some theories suggest that he may have been accidentally shot by someone else or that he deliberately concealed the identity of his shooter to protect them. The true circumstances of his death continue to be debated among historians and scholars.
