## The artist

[Vincent van Gogh](https://www.ochreeditions.com/artists/vincent-van-gogh), Dutch, 1853–1890

Van Gogh worked as an art dealer, teacher and lay preacher before he turned to art in 1880, at twenty-seven. His early pictures of Dutch peasants are dark and heavy; in Paris from 1886 he met the Impressionists and Neo-Impressionists, and his palette brightened.

14 works in the collection.
