Highly recommended. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Vincent's letters *by R***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 11 August 2011* Written to accompany a Tate exhibition, it is well-written, beautifully illustrated and full of fascinating biographical information written about and, more importantly, by Vincent himself.For many, Vincent is the obsessive, mad-artist who cut off his ear and gave it to a prostitute after a fight with Gauguin. Yes, he did all of this but this is not Vincent.In these letters to and from his brother, Theo, we begin to understand how intelligence, erudite and knowledgeable Vincent actually was. Far from instant impressions, he was very thoughtful about his paintings, usually planning them out careful prior to beginning to paint. Multi-lingual, deeply spiritual and passionate, he comes across as misunderstood, shy and introverted genius who, having considered and tried different styles of painting, pursued his own style, apparently without success; during his own life, he sold only one painting.In May 1990, one of Vincent's paintings,"Portrait of Dr. Gachet", of his friend, Dr Gauchet, sold for $82,500,000. With Picasso, he is the most represented artist on the most expensive paintings list:$71,500,000 "Portrait de l'artiste sans barbe"$57,000,000 "A Wheatfield with Cypresses"$39.700,000 "Vase with Fifteen Sunflowers"$47.500,000 "Peasant Woman Against a Background of Wheat"To many people, Vincent van Gogh is just the obsessive, mad artist who cut off his ear. This book provides a rare chance to read Vincent himself and broaden one's understanding and appreciation of this unique artist. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars It's a fine book *by L***S on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 11 February 2021* I have been after a book by my favourite artist for a while and finally decided on this. It is a large and heavy book with many very good illustrations. I was disappointed that there was no sign of my favourite painting ' Starry Night Over The Rhone' but really that is being a bit churlish on my part.With segments from many of Vincent's letters to his brother Theo this really is a fine book that I have no hesitation in recommending. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/60132846-the-real-van-gogh-the-artist-and-his-letters-artists](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/60132846-the-real-van-gogh-the-artist-and-his-letters-artists) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-10-02*
