Overview
Vincent van Gogh's (1853-1890) idiosyncratic style grew out of a deep admiration and connection to the 19th-century art world. This fresh look at Van Gogh's influences explores the artist's relationship to the Barbizon school painters Jean-Fran ois Millet and Georges Michel--Van Gogh's self-proclaimed mentors--as well to Realists like Jean-Fran ois Raffa lli and L on Lhermitte. New scholarship offers insights into Van Gogh's emulation of Adolphe Monticelli, his absorption of the Hague School through Anton Mauve and Jozef Isra ls, and his keen interest in the work of the Impressionists. This copiously illustrated volume also discusses Van Gogh's allegiance to the colorism of Eug ne Delacroix, as well as his alliance with the Realist literature of Charles Dickens and George Eliot. Though often portrayed as an insular and tortured savant, Through Vincent's Eyes provides a fascinating deep dive into Van Gogh's sources of inspiration that reveals the artist's expansive interest in the artistic culture of his time.
