Every month I choose a theme and try to post as many different artists as there are days.
But for the month’s July and August of 2022 I’m once again going to focus on one artist.
A man who in a decade created about 2,100 artworks, including around 860 oil paintings, most of which date from the last two years of his life.
This man is one of the most famous artists, so it will not be much of a guessing game. I’ll try to post lesser known works by him, using an extra filter, an extra theme but that will also be clear after a couple of days. I will also be focusing on the last 4 years of his life and I shall post them chronologically starting in 1886.
Enjoy!


(30 March 1853 - 29 July 1890)
 

 Who rejoices in the green of the pine trees and cedar and ivy and holly and moss in the winter? Dry wood gives more heat, bright fire and light when it is lit than green wood does. There is no fear in Love, but perfect love shutteth out fear.

From a letter to his brother.
