Van Gogh period by period
Van Gogh painted for only ten years, from 1880 to 1890, and his work changes so much from one place to the next that the clearest way to explore it is period by period. Each page (in Spanish) tells what happened to him at that time and what he painted, and links to every catalog page from those years.
Early years (1881–1883)Etten, The Hague and Drenthe: drawings, peasants and the first oil paintings.
Nuenen (1883–1885)Weavers, peasant heads and The Potato Eaters.
Paris (1886–1888)Color, pointillism, Japanese prints and the self-portraits.
Arles (1888–1889)Sunflowers, the Yellow House, the bedroom, the night cafés.
Saint-Rémy (1889–1890)The Starry Night, cypresses, olive trees and Almond Blossom.
Auvers-sur-Oise (1890)Seventy days, seventy paintings: the church, Dr. Gachet, the wheat field.

About this site
Museo Van Gogh is an independent project, not affiliated with the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam. Our pages are based on the catalogues raisonnés by De la Faille (F) and Hulsker (JH), on Vincent’s letters to Theo and on the documentation of the museums that hold each work. The latest pages are in the What’s New section (in Spanish); you can learn more about us.
