Did you know that Van Gogh, during the last three months of his life, produced up to 500 works? The death of the master, on July 29, 1890 is still a mystery: against the suicide theory, the best known, in 2011 came the thesis that Van Gogh was killed by accidental firing caused by two boys playing with a gun.
To honour one of the leading exponents of Post-Impressionism, check out the exhibitions that include artworks by the artist:
- Van Gogh to Kandinsky: Symbolist Landscape in Europe 1880-1910
