Vincent van Gogh (1873)
The master of post-impressionism, Vincent van Gogh (1853 – 1890) led a troubled existence. He was severely depressed and would eventually commit suicide at just 37. The visionary we know him as today owes his posthumous successes to Jo van Gogh-Bonger, his sister-in-law, who came into possession of his life’s works following Vincent’s brother’s passing, called Theo. She dedicated her life to bringing his paintings to the proper attention. Many claim to be in possession of pictures of van Gogh, with none having been truly legitimized. What we are looking at here could very well be a photograph of Theo.
