His genius was literary and visual (his letters constitute one of the greatest novels in the 19th century) and, before he went to Paris in 1886, about his own ideas as an artist was formed as much as possible through his reading social criticism writer, especially Charles Dickens and George Eliot, because he was revered for the rural painter Miller.

The subject of this painting portraits research based on farmers, Van Gogh across Nuenen. The distinguish characteristics of the painting were their faces and hands are rough, simple, as if they had been made out of they dig the ground. Their simple dinner is sacramental; they are serious, intent and inexplicably excited, because if they get more happiness and social harmony of the meal potatoes and coffee than for a rich man put his superb feast. The eyes of the young woman looked at, presumably, her husband is remarkable. There is adoration in them; for all their fight-breaking toil, Van Gogh means that these people are sexual vigor. There is a bond, so, between the rights of the old couple. The girl completes a circle around the table. Above all is to create the warm sponge oil lamp, mineral gray space, on behalf of the
Philosopher Alain De Botton uses Vincent Van Gough to persuade his audiences into seeing and embracing our environments so that we can full understand the extent of their impact on society/us, “It was for Van Gogh the mark of every great painter to allow us to see certain aspects of the world more clearly” this evaluative statement highlights De Botton's and Van Gough's attempt to convince the respondents of their neglectfulness to their elements in their travels and everyday lives. As Van Gough’s distinct style of representing forms expresses his emotions of society, “Artists could paint a portion of the world and in consequence open the eyes of others to it”, said by Alain De Botton suggests that artists eyes are open to the world and it is those that we see it through. Like wise in Ljalkaindirma, Albert Namatjira uses his cultured beliefs of traditional Aboriginal customs demonstrated by his use of vector lines and light to give the painting depth and meaning connecting it to the traditional Aboriginal relationship between their land and culture. Namatjira builds upon this through his use of vector lines, which immediately draw the respondents towards the centre of the mountains allowing the respondents to allow themselves to identify the other aspects of the painting that extend the landscape

Van Gogh was a very quiet child and he was also melancholy meaning he was always in a gloomy state of mind, a lot of people consider this as being depressed. Van Gogh family struggled financially having him leaves school at a very young age to go work and bring in money for the family. Van Gogh completed a very fragmented array of education. At the age of 15 he began working at his uncles art dealership. The Art dealership was a part of an Art Firm, which had many different branches.
After he finished school, in June, 1873, Vincent attends Goupil and Cie, art dealers from paris with a branch established in the Hague, London by his Uncle Vincent. He admired the English culture there and in his free time went to art galleries and became a fan of George Eliot and Charles Dickens writings. Vincent fell in love with his landlady’s daughter, Eugenie Loyer, however, when he proposed to her she rejected him. This lead Van Gogh into a mental breakdown. He threw away all of his books except for the Bible.
Since he was born, Vincent van Gogh (30th March 1853 - 29th July 1890) has been drowning in his family’s background in art dealership and to uphold their reputation in that particular class. Three of his uncles were art dealers, and his mother’s family were intimately connected through the visual arts. Vincent was also very connected with his family and appeared to have a particularly strong bond with his younger brother, Theo Van Gogh.

According to The Art Institute, this painting is Van Gogh’s second self portrait he ever made, its style that of “The Paris avant garde”, later to be known as the “Post impressionists”. Although some might think that Van Gogh’s 1887 self portrait is just an exercise in technique, with Van Gogh merely painting his own face for practice, I feel that this portrait, upon further inspection and introspection, reveals the hidden emotions of Van Gogh- his sorrows, pain, fear, and
Although he is not a traditional historical figure, I would want to meet Vincent Van Gogh. I would settle for just being in the same place as him. I'd look at him and just smile. Maybe if I were lucky enough to be near him I would compliment his work. I'd call his style brilliant and innovative.
His initial detention to the hospital is shown in his imagery, through the depictions of its hallways to the flowers of its walled garden, visible from his room. Outside the walls of the hospital, he painted the surrounding countryside, which he said was "characteristic of Provence." In June, he made two paintings of cypresses, painted in thick impastoed layers of paint.

The Starry Night is a world-famous oil on canvas painted by a well known and very unusual artist Vincent van Gogh. This painting belongs to the style of post-impressionist paintings due to its formal characteristics and the message that this painting is aimed to deliver to the viewers. The Starry Night is not the only artist 's painting that depicts the night sky and the starts on it. However, even considering the Starry Night over the Rhone and the Cafe Terrace At Night, the manner of painting differs a lot and the perception of the main ideas of the pictures is really different. This work is an exceptional example of art, both in terms of the quality and within the artist’s oeuvre.
In this artwork, Van Gogh uses strong vertical lines to give the sense of unease. These lines are present in the floor boards, the chair and in the wall. The lines give an unnerving feel to the room as vertical lines suggest that the room was not a place of tranquility, or calmness, but a rather gives a sense of despair. Furthermore, In the room there is also horizontal lines to suggest peace, and calmness.
An extensive piece of this notoriety depends on the picture of van Gogh as a battling virtuoso, working undervalued in detachment. The sensational components he can possibly imagine—neediness, self-mutilation, mental breakdown, and suicide—sustain the show of this folklore. The thought that his strange ability was unrecognized and dismissed by society elevates the legend, as it is only that kind of disengagement and battle that has come to characterize the cutting edge idea of the craftsman. This legendary van Gogh has turned out to be relatively indistinguishable from his craft, motivating craftsmen to perform his adventure in ballads, books, films, musical shows, move troupes, symphonic pieces, and a mainstream tune. Wide and differing gatherings of people have come to value his specialty, and the record-breaking participation at presentations of his works—and also the prevalence of business things including symbolism from his oeuvre—uncover that, inside the traverse of a century, van Gogh has progressed toward becoming maybe the most perceived painter ever.
