Houses at Auvers
Vincent van Gogh · 1890
Why it's great
A row of cottages with mossy roofs lines a street in Auvers, with green gardens and a pink path. Van Gogh painted the village where he spent his last weeks. The colors are fresh and bright. It's a happy village view.

Vincent van Gogh was born in a small village in the Netherlands and worked as a teacher and art dealer before becoming a painter at age 27. He lived in the Netherlands, Belgium, Paris, and finally the sunny south of France, where his colors grew brighter and bolder. He painted more than 800 paintings in about a decade, yet sold almost none while alive. After his death at 37, his brother's family helped make him one of the most loved artists in history.
