THE HIGHLIGHTS
In this section, a sample of some of van Goghs most celebrated works are provided, with concise introductions, special detail reproductions and additional biographical images.
Van Gogh, aged 13
This painting was completed while van Gogh was living in The Hague in December, 1881. It is currently located at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam and depicts everyday belongings that are typical of other still life subjects in van Goghs early works. The earthy dark colours are also characteristic of this period.
After settling in The Hague , van Gogh called on his cousin-in-law, the painter Anton Mauve, who introduced him to painting in both oil and watercolour. She also lent him the money to set up a studio. Nevertheless, the two soon fell out, possibly over a disagreement about drawing from plaster casts, and Mauve appears to have suddenly grown cold towards van Gogh, choosing not to return a number of his letters. The young artist supposed his relative did not approve of his domestic arrangement with an alcoholic prostitute, Clasina Maria Sien Hoornik and her young daughter.

This painting was completed in 1884 and is now housed in the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam . It depicts a lone figure of a woman, head covered and clothed in shadow, walking towards the viewer on the right side of a darkening path. The painting evokes an atmosphere of isolation and melancholy, enhanced by the rich autumnal colours and the theme of the dying day. Threatening shadows slash across the path, heightening the sinister mood.
In October 1884, van Gogh described the work to his brother Theo, an art dealer living and working in Amsterdam, explaining that the last thing I made is a rather large study of an avenue of poplars, with yellow autumn leaves, the sun casting, here and there, sparkling spots on the fallen leaves on the ground, alternating with the long shadows of the stems. At the end of the road is a small cottage, and over it all the blue sky through the autumn leaves.

Created in April 1885, while van Gogh was staying in Nuenen, this early painting is housed in the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam . During March and April 1885, van Gogh sketched studies for the painting and corresponded with his brother, who was not impressed with the work. The artist persevered with the painting until the beginning of May, when it was mostly complete, except for minor changes which he made with a small brush later the same year.
Van Gogh said he wanted to depict peasants as they really were. He deliberately chose coarse and unattractive models, believing they would be natural and unspoiled in his finished work. In a letter to Theo, he explained, You see, I really have wanted to make it so that people get the idea that these folk, who are eating their potatoes by the light of their little lamp, have tilled the earth themselves with these hands they are putting in the dish, and so it speaks of manual labour and that they have thus honestly earned their food. I wanted it to give the idea of a wholly different way of life from ours civilised people. So I certainly dont want everyone just to admire it or approve of it without knowing why.
Writing to his sister Willemina two years later, van Gogh still considered The Potato Eaters his most successful painting: What I think about my own work is that the painting of the peasants eating potatoes that I did in Nuenen is after all the best thing I did However, the painting was criticised by his friend Anthon van Rappard soon after it was completed, which was a blow to van Gogh's confidence. He wrote back to his friend, you...had no right to condemn my work in the way you did.
On April 14, 1991, twenty major paintings were stolen from the Vincent van Gogh National Museum, including the The Potato Eaters . For unknown reasons, the thieves abandoned the art 35 minutes after the robbery and the paintings were quickly recovered.
