The Great Artists - Van Gogh
Vincent Willem van Gogh
(30 March 1853 - 29 July 1890) was a Dutch Post-Impressionist artist. Some of his paintings are now among the world's best known, most popular and expensive works of art.
Van Gogh spent his early adult life working for a firm of art dealers. After a brief spell as a teacher, he became a missionary worker in a very poor mining region. He did not embark upon a career as an artist until 1880. Initially, Van Gogh worked only with sombre colours, until he encountered Impressionism and Neo-Impressionism in Paris. He incorporated their brighter colours and style of painting into a uniquely recognizable style, which was fully developed during the time he spent at Arles, France. He produced more than 2,000 works, including around 900 paintings and 1,100 drawings and sketches, during the last ten years of his life. Most of his best-known works were produced in the final two years of his life, during which time he suffered recurrent bouts of mental illness, which led to his suicide.

Dutch art is extremely impressive.
Willem Claeszoon Heda (1593/1594 – c. 1680/1682) was a Dutch Golden Age artist from the city of Haarlem devoted exclusively to the painting of still lifes.
He is known for his innovation of the late breakfast genre of still life painting.

Look closely in wonderment at all the very fine level of details.... the light reflections in the glass, the elegant sheen in the oyster shells, the soft glisten around the rim of the glass, and even the silky texture of the tablecloth fabric, all being skillfully brought to life in William Claeszoon Heda's paintings.

Balthasar van der Ast (1593/94 – 7 March 1657) was a Dutch Golden Age painter who specialised in still lifes of flowers and fruit, as well as painting a number of remarkable shell still lifes; he is considered to be a pioneer in the genre of shell painting. His still lifes often contain insects and lizards.
He was born in Middelburg and died in Delft.
His lifetime of works was once summarised by an Amsterdam doctor who said, "In flowers, shells and lizards, beautiful".

Dutch artists are world famous.
'The Netherlands brought oil painting to Europe, and renowned Dutch artists run from the Hieronymus Bosch (1400s) through artists like Vermeer, Rembrandt and van Gogh to modern artists and designers like MC Escher and the creator of Miffy.'
