Gogh, Vincent van (1853-1890)

Van Gogh, like Gauguin, developed late. He was the son of a Protestant minister, and found it hard at first to decide on a career. From the age of about twenty, he worked as an assistant to the picture-dealer Goupil, first at The Hague, then in Brussels, London and finally Paris. He then felt the call to a religious life and for the next two years worked as an evangelist and free-lance missionary among poor miners and peasants. Towards the end of 1878 he began to draw and paint; he had a great admiration for Millet and copied a number of his works.
During this period, up to 1881 he lived in Belgium; then from 1881 to 1885 he was back in Holland again, staying at Etten, Te Hague, Drenthe and for a rather longer period (December 1883-november 1885) at Nuenen. Finally he went to Antwerp (November 1885-february 1886).
