Vincent Van gogh life in a portrait.

Vincent Van gogh
Here is the portrait of one of my favorite painter.
I started to copy his pictures when i started painting and it's only now that i make this portrait.

Let's start with the incredible life of the poet/painter who never sold a picture and became worldwide famous once dead...

Picture available here on my etsy shop





Row with his father
Vincent  doesn't really knew what to do of his life. He tried different jobs but none of them give him satisfaction.

Aftger a row with his gather, he decided to go away and take his chance into the souh of France.








Selling his artwork
Vincent van gogh had difficulties with selling his artwork, like many painter, and among the 3 or 4 sold pictures, one was bought into fill a hole on the roof of a barn.
Get find this farm and you'll be rich !






Heading for the south
Leaving his native belgium, cloudy skies and industrial landscapes. He was heading to the south, land of sunny countrysides, mediterranean trees and warm weather.










a nap in the shades of haystacks
Inspired by the life in south of france, he started to paint typical scenery, like people taking a nap in the shades of haystacks.







Van gogh's room
This picture is based on the picture of Van Gogh "the blue room" , including the bed, the chait, the table and tea pot.
The Blue room











Gauguin and Van gogh
Van gogh is famous for his picture with his ear cut. It all happens following a row with Gauguin, using a saber.








Auvers sur oise
The church of auvers sur Oise is also famous for the picture he did, but the cemetery is also famous as it's where Van Gogh and his Brother are resting in Peace side by side.










Absynth
Van gogh had some strange behaviours and one of them could be explained with drinking too much Absinth, this vintage drink.
The shape of the glass is triangle shaped, e special shape for serving this precious and delicate liquid.









Another famous picture : "Terrasse de café la nuit".
It's  a picture i like much. I made a copy yearas ago that i still have in my bedroom in France.
