This biography brings to life the artist's formative years, early struggles, and the experiences that shaped his artistic voice.
  • Follow his path through triumph and torment – Trace Van Gogh's emotional and physical movements across Europe—from the Netherlands to Paris, Arles, Saint-Rémy, and Auvers-sur-Oise. Each location marked a chapter of transformation, illuminating his evolving style, his battle with mental illness, and his relentless drive to create, even in the face of personal despair and rejection.

Explore how Van Gogh's works—once dismissed and misunderstood—came to shape modern art and inspire generations. Learn how his bold use of color, thick brushwork, and emotional honesty created a legacy that lives on in galleries, classrooms, and hearts around the world.
