1. Vincent van Gogh (Wikipedia).
Overview: Vincent Willem van Gogh (30 March 1853 29 July 1890) was a Dutch Post-Impressionist painter who posthumously became one of the most famous and influential figures in Western(Submitted on May 9, 2023.)art history. In a decade, he created about 2,100 artworks, including around 860 oil paintings, most of which date from the last two years of his life. They include landscapes, still lifes, portraits and self-portraits, and are characterised by bold colours and dramatic, impulsive and expressive brushwork that contributed to the foundations of modern art. Not commercially successful in his career, he struggled with severe depression and poverty, which eventually led to his suicide at age thirty-seven.

2. Van Gogh in The Hague, The Netherlands (van gogh route).
On his time in The Hague: In The Hague, Vincent went through an intense period in his artistic career, resolutely working hard but earning very little. His conviction that he was an artist and must learn as much as he could but his confidence that he would succeed one day clashed with the harsh realities of everyday life: he was forced to pinch every penny and frequently defend his lifestyle and work. He depended on financial assistance from his brother Theo, with whom he frequently corresponded. When Vincent became involved with Clasina(Submitted on May 9, 2023.)Sien Maria Hoornik (18501904), a pregnant prostitute he had met on the street, his friendships became strained. In the end, Vincent departed The Hague in 1883 to live in the less costly Drenthe countryside. He left his beloved Sien behind in the city with her children. In spite of having promised to marry her, he would only see her once more.Photographed by Andrew Ruppenstein, May 8, 20232. Vincent van Gogh Marker - wide view
