19th-century Dutch Post-Impressionist painter (1853–1890).
Born in Zundert, he only began painting at 27 and in ten years produced about 900 oil paintings and 1,100 drawings; early in the Netherlands, in Nuenen, he painted peasant subjects such as *The Potato Eaters*, and after 1886, in Paris, Arles, and Saint-Rémy, he formed a personal style of intense colour and swirling brushwork, with representative works *The Starry Night*, *Sunflowers*, and *Irises*; he died in Auvers, France, in 1890, having sold very few paintings in his lifetime, and influenced Expressionism after his death.
