Vincent Van Gogh lived a restless, itinerant life. In his final years, he wandered the fields and streets of Auvers, near Paris.In each location, he painted. He moved regularly, from his parents' vicarage to the homes of peasants, from seaside Ramsgate and landmark locations in London to the heights of Montmartre, from the now-famous Yellow House in Arles to a hospital and then an asylum.
Every time he found himself somewhere new, he set to work, capturing both the surroundings and the buildings, houses, and monuments around him. Though he had initially set out to be a portrait painter--and one with a religious mission--his travels ultimately revealed his gift with landscape. He also wrote at length about the places he traveled in his notebooks and letters.
This book puts readers in Van Gogh's shoes, following him on his intertwined physical and artistic journeys
