Van Gogh: Masterpieces from the Kröller-Müller Museum

by Maria Teresa Benedetti (Editor), Francesca Villanti (Editor), Vincent Van Gogh (Artist)

In this volume, 50 masterpieces by Vincent van Gogh (1853–90) from the prestigious Kröller-Müller Museum in Otterlo―which houses one of the greatest Van Gogh collections―document the Dutch painter’s entire career, on the eve of the 170th anniversary of his birth.

Through reproductions of the 50 paintings and drawings alongside biographical accounts, the volume reconstructs Van Gogh’s trajectory along a chronological thread of the periods and places where the painter lived: from his early life in the Netherlands to his years in Paris, Arles, S. Remy and finally Auvers Sur-Oise; from his early passionate and dark landscapes to his depictions of manual laborers such as sowers, potato pickers, weavers, woodcutters, miners and domestic workers.
