Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam. Van Gogh (1853-1890), Dutch post-Impressionist painter. He was a pioneer of Post-impressionism and deeply influenced the art of the twentieth century. His works were influenced by the French realistic painter Miller. In his early years, he created works in grey and dark, until he met the Impressionists and Neo-Impressionists in Paris, blended their bright colors and painting styles, and finally created his unique personal painting style. Most of the most famous works were created in the last two years of his life, during which Van Gogh was deeply involved in mental illness and committed suicide at the age of 37. After Van Gogh's death, his works, such as Starry Night, Sunflower and Crow's Rye, ranked among the most famous and precious works of art in the world.
