Oil on canvas. Featuring a landscape scene with cypresses in the countryside. Signed and attributed to Vincent Van Gogh (Dutch, 1853-1890) on the lower right corner. Marked with gallery seal and notation on verso. 18 x 23.9 cm (7.1 x 9.4 inches). Primarily self-taught and unappreciated during his lifetime, Vincent van Gogh made over 900 paintings and 1,100 works on paper during the decade that he worked as an artist. Influenced by?Jean-Francois Millet?and the?Barbizon School?artists, van Gogh’s early work comprises dour portraits of Dutch peasants and depressing rural landscapes. In 1886-88 he moved to Paris, where?Impressionism?and?Neo-Impressionism?had a big impact on his painting. He brightened his palette, experimented with shorter brush strokes,?impasto, and complementary colors. The paintings he made in Paris announce the bolder?Post-Impressionist?style that he is best known for today. Emotionally unstable, humorless, and argumentative, van Gogh eventually had a breakdown and moved to an asylum in the south of France where he painted landscapes, portraits, interiors and still lifes steeped with personal symbolism.
