[28] The two met when Anna's younger sister, Cornelia, married Theodorus's older brother Vincent (Cent). Van Gogh's parents married in May 1851, and moved to Zundert. [29] His brother Theo was born on 1 May 1857. There was another brother, Cor, and three sisters: Elisabeth, Anna, and Willemina (known as "Wil"). In later life, Van Gogh remained in touch only with Willemina and Theo. [30] Van Gogh's mother was a rigid and religious woman who emphasized the importance of family to the point of claustrophobia for those around her. [31] Theodorus's salary as a minister was modest, but the Church also supplied the family with a house, a maid, two cooks, a gardener, a carriage and horse; his mother Anna instilled in the children a duty to uphold the family's high social position. [32] Daniel Smith paints have a high pigment load, and they use alkali-refined linseed oil as a vehicle for the paint, and their white colours are ground in safflower oil.

Probably the most affordable oil paints on the market, and certainly on this list. These paints are good for anyone who is more price conscious, or doesn’t want to invest in expensive paint.Channing, Laurence; Bradl Attributes: High pigment content, professional grade, some colours can be very pricy, stiff consistency, huge range of colours If you’re looking to get a primary palette, their colours Lemon Yellow, Translucent Cyan and Transparent Magenta will give a great chromatic range. You may need to add another red, such as Cadmium, and yellow that leans towards red such as their Cadmium Yellow Hue to the mix to be able to mix deeper reds, yellows and oranges. Van Gogh (2009), Letter 666. Vincent to Theo van Gogh. Arles, Tuesday, 21 or Wednesday, 22 August 1888. Theo criticised The Potato Eaters for its dark palette, which he thought unsuitable for a modern style. [220] During Van Gogh's stay in Paris between 1886 and 1887, he tried to master a new, lighter palette. His Portrait of Père Tanguy (1887) shows his success with the brighter palette and is evidence of an evolving personal style. [221] Charles Blanc's treatise on colour interested him greatly and led him to work with complementary colours. Van Gogh came to believe that the effect of colour went beyond the descriptive; he said that "colour expresses something in itself". [222] [223] According to Hughes, Van Gogh perceived colour as having a "psychological and moral weight", as exemplified in the garish reds and greens of The Night Café, a work he wanted to "express the terrible passions of humanity". [224] Yellow meant the most to him, because it symbolised emotional truth. He used yellow as a symbol for sunlight, life, and God. [225]

Van Gogh (2009), Letter 403. Vincent to Theo van Gogh, Nieuw-Amsterdam, on or about Monday, 5 November 1883. Between February and April 1890, Van Gogh suffered a severe relapse. Depressed and unable to bring himself to write, he was still able to paint and draw a little during this time, [181] and he later wrote to Theo that he had made a few small canvases "from memory... reminisces of the North". [182] Among these was Two Peasant Women Digging in a Snow-Covered Field at Sunset. Hulsker believes that this small group of paintings formed the nucleus of many drawings and study sheets depicting landscapes and figures that Van Gogh worked on during this time. He comments that this short period was the only time that Van Gogh's illness had a significant effect on his work. [183] Van Gogh asked his mother and his brother to send him drawings and rough work he had done in the early 1880s so he could work on new paintings from his old sketches. [184] Belonging to this period is Sorrowing Old Man ("At Eternity's Gate"), a colour study Hulsker describes as "another unmistakable remembrance of times long past". [185] [186] His late paintings show an artist at the height of his abilities, according to the art critic Robert Hughes, "longing for concision and grace". [122] Albert Aurier praised his work in the Mercure de France in January 1890 and described him as "a genius". [188] In February, Van Gogh painted five versions of L'Arlésienne (Madame Ginoux), based on a charcoal sketch Gauguin had produced when she sat for both artists in November 1888. [189] [note 10] Also in February, Van Gogh was invited by Les XX, a society of avant-garde painters in Brussels, to participate in their annual exhibition. At the opening dinner a Les XX member, Henry de Groux, insulted Van Gogh's work. Toulouse-Lautrec demanded satisfaction, and Signac declared he would continue to fight for Van Gogh's honour if Lautrec surrendered. De Groux apologised for the slight and left the group. The climate campaign group targeted Scotland Yard a few hours later, where 24 people were arrested after activists sprayed orange paint on a sign outside the building and glued themselves to the road outside.Van Gogh (2009), Letter RM20.

Van Gogh suffered from psychotic episodes and delusions. Though he worried about his mental stability, he often neglected his physical health, did not eat properly and drank heavily. His friendship with Gauguin ended after a confrontation with a razor when, in a rage, he severed part of his own left ear. He spent time in psychiatric hospitals, including a period at Saint-Rémy. After he discharged himself and moved to the Auberge Ravoux in Auvers-sur-Oise near Paris, he came under the care of the homeopathic doctor Paul Gachet. His depression persisted, and on 27 July 1890, Van Gogh is believed to have shot himself in the chest with a revolver, dying from his injuries two days later. In May 1890, Van Gogh left the clinic in Saint-Rémy to move nearer to both Dr Paul Gachet in the Paris suburb of Auvers-sur-Oise and to Theo. Gachet was an amateur painter and had treated several other artists – Camille Pissarro had recommended him. Van Gogh's first impression was that Gachet was "iller than I am, it seemed to me, or let's say just as much." [192] Channing & Bradley (2007), 67; Van Gogh (2009), Letter 879. Vincent to Willemien van Gogh. Auvers-sur-Oise, Thursday, 5 June 1890.

With all that in mind, Winton certainly isn’t bad to use. They use moderately priced pigments in their paint rather than lessening the amount of pigment in the paint to an unacceptable level. For students, professionals with a low budget or artists who need large volumes of paint that aren’t going to mix the colours too much (for example textured palette knife paintings), Winton could be suitable. In April 1876, he returned to England to take unpaid work as a supply teacher in a small boarding school in Ramsgate. When the proprietor moved to Isleworth in Middlesex, Van Gogh went with him. [43] [44] The arrangement was not successful; he left to become a Methodist minister's assistant. [45] His parents had meanwhile moved to Etten; [46] in 1876 he returned home at Christmas for six months and took work at a bookshop in Dordrecht. He was unhappy in the position and spent his time doodling or translating passages from the Bible into English, French, and German. [47] He immersed himself in Christianity, and became increasingly pious and monastic. [48] According to his flatmate of the time, Paulus van Görlitz, Van Gogh ate frugally, avoiding meat. [49] All paints are handmade. Additionally, Michael Harding makes the paint without adding fillers or dryers to the mix. This means that the pigment content is incredibly high. By using any Michael Harding paint, you’ll notice just how far it spreads on the canvas and how little the colour fades over time. For this reason, they are worth the investment, as you can be much more frugal with the amount of paint you use. When it comes to the lower grade, more economical paint, ‘hue’ often means that multiple pigments have been used to closely resemble the colour of the original pigment. There is a lesser concentration of pigment, therefore the paint won’t mix as well, and it’s likely to contain more fillers to bulk it out. You’ll notice differences in the handling properties and richness of colour in a student grade quality. Van Gogh (2009), Letter 677. Vincent to Theo van Gogh.

The walnut oil provides a clear film for the colour, where the use of a refined or cold pressed linseed oil alone would be more prone to yellowing. This enhances the pigments, creating colours that are more pure.

Van Gogh was buried on 30 July, in the municipal cemetery of Auvers-sur-Oise. The funeral was attended by Theo van Gogh, Andries Bonger, Charles Laval, Lucien Pissarro, Émile Bernard, Julien Tanguy and Paul Gachet, among twenty family members, friends and locals. Theo suffered from syphilis, and his health began to decline further after his brother's death. Weak and unable to come to terms with Vincent's absence, he died on 25 January 1891 at Den Dolder and was buried in Utrecht. [207] In 1914, Johanna van Gogh-Bonger had Theo's body exhumed and moved from Utrecht to be re-buried alongside Vincent's at Auvers-sur-Oise. [208]
