Vincent van Gogh s 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.

Van Gogh, who took up a variety of professions before becoming an artist, was a solitary, despairing and self-destructive man. This richly illustrated and expert study follows the artist from the early gloom-laden paintings in which he captured the misery of peasants and workers in his homeland, through his bright and colorful Parisian period, to the work of his final years, spent under a southern sun in Arles.
