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 René 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.

A fascinating guide to Van Gogh's itinerant life, with vibrant images and stories about the many places he lived and worked. Vincent van Gogh traveled widely throughout Europe--on foot, by boat, and above all, by train. He wrote countless letters to his family as he went, using the world around him as the subject for hundreds of drawings and paintings. And in his day, that world looked very different from ours. Brimming with colorful illustrations, historic photographs, letters, detailed maps, and other documents, this book enables readers to join Van Gogh on his journeys from Z to A: from Zundert in the southern Netherlands (where he was born), through London and Paris, to Auvers-sur-Oise in France (where he died). Offering a detailed introduction to Van Gogh's personal quest and the world of his time, The Vincent Van Gogh Atlas will immerse young readers in the history of the nineteenth century and the turbulent life of Van Gogh, the artist and man.

Vincent van Gogh leefde in een spannende tijd. De moderne wereld was volop in beweging door de opkomst van een wijdvertakt spoorwegnet in Europa. En Vincent bewoog mee! In De Grote Van Gogh Atlas volgen we Vincent langs alle dorpen en steden waar hij woonde. We zien hoe zijn wereld er in die tijd uitzag: van de landelijke rust op het platteland van Brabant en Zuid-Frankrijk, tot de zinderende drukte in wereldsteden als Londen en Parijs. Een rijke keuze uit zijn werk laat zien hoe hij als kunstenaar de wereld om hem heen als onderwerp voor honderden tekeningen en schilderijen gebruikte. Reis mee met Vincent op zijn tocht door Europa, langs alle plaatsen waar hij woonde… en waar hij de kunstenaar werd die hij zo graag wilde zijn.
