The lives of many famous artists have been shrouded in mystery and conjecture, but none have been more controversial than the life of Vincent van Gogh.
Remembered for his swirling brushstrokes and burning colors, Vincent van Gogh is today one of the best-known painters. Though his career as a painter spanned less than ten years, he produced a body of work that remains one of the most enduring in all of modern art. In his lifetime, however, he received little recognition. Today his paintings sell for countless millions, yet during his lifetime, van Gogh managed to sell just one painting.
Van Gogh’s road to be becoming a painter took a circuitous, often troublesome path. In his twenties, van Gogh served as a lay minister in a Belgian mining district. He practiced Christian virtues with such outward zeal that he found himself ostracized from society, which prompted him to set off for Brussels to study art. His religious zeal, his belief in the unimpeachable nature of man and his struggle, and his many tumultuous inner-turmoil’s all resonate through his extraordinary body of paintings.

Overlayed on a thin framework of actual events and dates, the majority of the writing consists of imagined situations, hypothetical conversations, and imputed ideas and thoughts. There is some occasional analysis by the art critic author that adds value, though it appears but rarely.
Most of this book is how the author imagined the details of Van Gogh's daily interactions and thoughts without apparent basis for the greatest part of it. The conversations, outbursts, and trains of thought are simply extrapolated from minor events or created from the author's imagination. And the suicide scene is simply historically incorrect.
I don't much care for the narrator, but that's probably just a personal preference. She does alright - - I just didn't care for the quality of her voice.
Thanks to Audible for making this volume available free of charge.

The book is beautiful. Even though it is not an easy listen I found myself drawn to it again and again.
Unfortunately the narration is not great. It is not clear who speaks when and foreign language is mixed up from time to time without any indication to what the translation is. It’s although the narrator forgot to read the footnotes and in general feels rushed.
Nonetheless the pronunciation is clear and easy to understand.
