Few artists have burned with as fierce and tragic a brilliance as Vincent van Gogh, whose turbulent life and revolutionary canvases forever altered the course of Western art. Van Gogh and His Art by Rosemary Treble presents a richly illustrated journey through the life and creative vision of one of history's most celebrated Post-Impressionist painters, chronicling his struggles with poverty and mental anguish alongside the breathtaking colour and emotional intensity of his masterworks — from the brooding potato eaters of his Dutch period to the incandescent sunflowers and swirling night skies of Provence. Treble's authoritative prose illuminates the psychological and philosophical forces that drove Van Gogh's relentless output, arguing that his art was not merely the product of madness, but of an extraordinary, disciplined pursuit of beauty and human truth. Published by the distinguished Hamlyn imprint and distributed across London, New York, Sydney, and Toronto, this volume stands as an accessible yet scholarly introduction to an artist whose influence continues to resonate in galleries and imaginations worldwide. For anyone who has ever stood before a Van Gogh and felt something inexplicable stir within them, this is the book that answers the question: why?
