書籍簡介

我們都看過梵高的畫，卻少有人深究他的一生到底是怎樣度過的。在眾人眼中，他是一位作畫技法精準、生前潦倒無名、因瘋病而具天才靈感並在癲狂中槍殺了自己的狂人藝術家。這是一本介紹梵高遊歷生活的精彩指南，書中生動的圖片和故事講述了他生活和工作過的許多地方。這本激動人心的書籍讓許多年齡段的讀者都熟悉文森特·梵高(1853- 1890)許多迷人的方面——例如藝術家、記者、旅行者和歐洲城市和鄉村的現代探索者。

A fascinating guide to Van Gogh's itinerant life, with vibrant images and stories about the many places where he lived and worked This exciting publication familiarizes readers of all ages with the many fascinating facets of Vincent van Gogh (1853--1890)-artist, correspondent, traveler, and modern explorer of Europe's cities and countryside. 

Thanks to Van Gogh's wanderlust and the rapid expansion of the railway system in Europe in the late 19th century, Van Gogh covered thousands of miles in his lifetime. He lived and worked in more than twenty locations: from the peaceful countryside of the Netherlands and the south of France to the hustle and bustle of big cities such as London and Paris. 

Authors Nienke Denekamp and Rene van Blerk trace the artist's route across Europe "from Z to A," beginning in his birthplace of Zundert in the southern Netherlands and ending where he died, in Auvers-sur-Oise near Paris. Each location is described with lively and accessible texts, comprehensive timelines, city and country maps, contemporary photographs, and related artworks by Van Gogh. 

Featuring an eye-catching design, captivating excerpts from Van Gogh's vast body of letters, and hundreds of color images, The Vincent van Gogh Atlas offers a truly unique version of the enduringly compelling story of Van Gogh and instills an appreciation of the many journeys-literal and figurative-that the artist made throughout his life.
