Van Gogh's life and work are so intertwined that it is hardly possible to distinguish the two. While observing his paintings we see a panorama of his life story-a story that is now considered a legend. Van Gogh is the incarnation of the suffering, misunderstood martyr of modern art, the emblem of the unconventional artist.

There is quite a bit of information about Van Gogh's life that I found very interesting, along with transcriptions of Vincent's and Theo's letters. The size of this book made the gorgeous and detailed reproductions of Van Gogh's painting featured in this volume a treat to go through.
However, some of the paintings were presented in a random order, therefore, they did not serve to illustrate the events being narrated, which is a shame. Additionally, the book ends quite abruptly, without going into detail about Vincent's last days.
