Vincent van Gogh’s story is one of the most ironic in art history. Today, he is celebrated the world over as one of the most important painters of all time, recognized with sell-out shows, feted museums, and record prices of tens of millions of dollars at auction.
Yet as he was painting the canvases that would subsequently become these sell-out modern masterpieces, van Gogh was battling not only the disinterest of his contemporary audiences but also devastating bouts of mental illness, with episodes of depression and paralyzing anxiety which would eventually claim his life in 1890, when he committed suicide shortly after his 37th birthday.
This comprehensive study of Vincent van Gogh (1853–1890) pairs a detailed monograph on his life and art with a complete catalogue of his 871 paintings.

Vincent van Goghs Schicksal ist eine Tragödie der Kunstgeschichte. Heute gilt er als einer der wichtigsten Maler aller Zeiten, Ausstellungen seiner Werke sind stets ausverkauft, die ihm gewidmeten Museen gefeiert, und seine Werke erzielen auf Auktionen Preise im zweistelligen Millionenbereich. Doch zu Lebzeiten, als er die Leinwände bemalte, die später zu Meisterwerken der Moderne werden würde, hatte Van Gogh nicht nur mit dem Desinteresse seiner Zeitgenossen zu kämpfen, sondern auch mit schweren Anfällen psychischer Krankheit: Depressionen und lähmende Angstzustände, die ihn schließlich dazu brachten, sich im Jahr 1890, kurz nach seinem 37. Geburtstag, das Leben zu nehmen.
Diese umfassende Studie über Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890) verbindet eine detailreiche Monografie seines Lebens und Werks mit dem vollständigen Werkkatalog seiner 871 Gemälde.
