There must have been a void in Vincent’s soul that he tried to fill and splashed out onto the canvas. His life was not simple and full of loneliness. At the age of 16, he was rejected by his first love, which left a scar on his heart. After 8 years, he finds himself in religion and tortures himself with starvation and corporal punishment. At the age of 29, he meets a fallen woman - a prostitute, an alcoholic with a child, and waiting for a second. He didn’t give a damn about someone else’s opinion and even wanted to get married, but a year later he ran away from her. Vincent gave his ear to her, although according to other sources he did it for Gauguin. But, no matter what happened in his life, he continued to create and paint. In the last year of his life, he had a severe depression and, at the age of 37, he committed suicide.

Van Gogh worshiped the French artist Paul Gauguin. Vincent, finding a great place, invited Gauguin to collaborate. And in 1888 in Arles in the south of France for nine weeks he managed to work closely with him, which Vincent was immensely pleased. They exchanged canvases and inspiration. So, waiting for the arrival of Gauguin to the Yellow House, Van Gogh decided to give him joy and decorate the house. These were paintings with yellow sunflowers. He hung two of them in the bedroom for Gauguin.

"Night Terrace Cafe" was written in September 1888 and is also one of the most famous. She became the first in a series of paintings about the night starry sky. Wang Gogh wrote to his brother: "The night is much livelier and richer in colors than day." When writing this magical picture, he did not use a single gram of black paint. Vincent managed to convey the "dark blanket" covering the city and the boulevard illuminated by the light of stars from all depths.

The painting "Night Cafe" is rich in bright colors, but sometimes it seems that Van Gogh wanted to convey the situation "through the eyes of the drinker." The light of lamps and people's faces are slightly blurred. The situation is appropriate. Some of the customers of the restaurant have already laid down on the tables, everywhere there is a large amount of alcohol. Colors are not chosen randomly. Green is the color of loneliness and inner emptiness, and red is the color of anxiety and anxiety. It is a glass of alcohol that visitors to a cafe temporarily get rid of all the bad things that bother them.

The painting "Flowering Almond Trees" is full of tenderness. It was written in 1980, and the reason was the birth of a son with his beloved brother Theo. He presented the picture as a gift to the spouses. The inspiration was flowering, just at that time, almond trees. Feel the "notes" of the east. This is not surprising, because at that time the Japanese-style technique was in fashion.

The painting "Walk of the Prisoners" was painted during the difficult period for Van Gogh, in the San Remy hospital. Prison prisoners doom one after another, forming a closed circle, which means only one thing - hopelessness. Although light colors are used, the picture evokes darkness. She completely conveys the state of mind of Van Gogh.

The painting "A cereal field on the eve of a thunderstorm" was painted in 1890 a few weeks before the suicide. It reflects depressed depression, sadness, sadness and loneliness. In letters to his brother, Van Gogh wrote that he sees the image of death in a field with ears of corn. Humanity seemed to him rye, which after maturation is cut and removed from the field. There is no rye cleaner in the picture, that is, people froze waiting for their last minute. The first time Vincent wanted to commit suicide in the field, but the gun misfired.
