To gaze on Vincent Van Gogh's shimmering French landscapes is to see through the soul of this consummate artist and feel both the joy and pain of the human condition. Unknown during his lifetime, today van Gogh's work can be found in the most prestigious museums around the world, including the images reproduced here from the Musee d'Orsay in Paris, the Van Gogh Museum in The Netherlands and National Gallery, London, UK.
