IV.
Vincent Willem van Gogh was a Dutch painter, one of the leading exponents of Post-Impressionism. He painted some 900 pictures (including 43 self-portraits and 148 watercolors) and made more than 1,600 drawings. A central figure in his life was his younger brother Theo, an art dealer in Paris, who gave him continuous and selfless financial support. The great friendship between them is documented in the numerous letters that were exchanged since August 1872. Of the 800 letters that are preserved from the painter, about 650 were for Theo; the others are correspondence with friends and family. From a very young age he had a predilection for drawing. His first job for him was in an art gallery. He later became a Protestant pastor and in 1879, at the age of twenty-six, he went as a missionary to a mining region of Belgium, where he began to attract people from the local community.
