Landscape with a Carriage and a Train
Vincent van Gogh · 1890
Why it's great
A horse-drawn carriage races across a golden field, as a train steams by in the distance, under a cloudy sky. Van Gogh painted it in 1890 in his last weeks. The old and new world are side by side. It's a lively, energetic view of the countryside.

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.
