How big of an impact did Van Gogh leave in the art department? Between the years of 1881 to 1890, Van Gogh painted about 900 paintings. There are three topics in this paper which are Van Gogh’s childhood, his adult life and some of the paintings he created.

Vincent Williem Van Gogh was born on March 30, 1853. His parents were Theodorus and Cornelia Van Gogh. A year before he was born his mother had a stillborn baby boy, which they named Vincent as well . A year later Theodours and Cornelia had Vincent.

The painting is a view from his room in the asylum. This painting is an oil painting on canvas. He painted it looking out his window which faced the east. Van Gogh decided how he was going to do a painting by the weather outside. This includes sunny, moonrise, overcast days, windy days, and some rainy days. In 1889 Van Gogh painted one of his most famous paintings called “Irises”. Within a week after he moved to the asylum he studied the movements of the flowers, then later created the painting. He studied the flowers carefully then made varieties of curved, wavy, twisted, curling lines that made silhouettes that are the irises. “Road of Etten” is a painting done out of chalk, pencil, pastels, and watercolors. In 1881 Vincent decided to move to Etten for a little bit. There he made many drawings of things he saw throughout the town. “Road of Etten” was a sketch of a man sweeping in the street lined with many trees called pollard willows. Another famous painting is called “Cafe Terrace at Night” which is also called “Cafe Terrace on the Place du Forum”. This was a colored oil painting made in Arles, France in mid- September 1888. Around the same time Van Gogh also created “The Night Cafe” which was painted for the owner of the cafe. “The Church at Auvers” which was painted in 1890 is one of the most famous paintings he had done, it is now hanging in Musee d’Orsay, a museum in Paris, France on the left bank of the Seine. In 1890 he painted “Sorrowing Old Man” which shows a man sitting at eternity’s gate. He painted this one in Saint-Remy de Provence. “Sunset at Montmajor” was painted in July 1888, it is a landscape of garrigue with Montmajour Abbey in the background. Montmajour Abbey was a building that was built in the 10th and 18th centuries. When Vincent van Gogh first painted “Sunflowers Came into Bloom” no one wanted the paintings. He painted four images of the
