Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890) was a Dutch Post-Impressionist painter whose work has profoundly influenced modern art. Born in Zundert, Netherlands, van Goghwas the eldest child of Theodorus van Gogh, a minister, and Anna Cornelia Carbentus. His early life was marked by career changes and personal struggles, including stints as an art dealer, teacher, and missionary before he turned to painting at 27.
Van Gogh's artistic journey beganearnestly when he moved to Paris in 1886, where hewas exposed to the works of the Impressionists and other avant-garde artists like Émile Bernard and Paul Gauguin. This period was crucial as it significantly influenced his use of colour and technique. In Paris, van Gogh adopted brighter colours and more dynamic brushstrokes, moving away from the darker tones of his early works, such as "The Potato Eaters" (1885).
In 1888, van Gogh moved to Arles in southern France, seeking new inspiration. Here, he produced some of his most famous works, including "Sunflowers" and "The Bedroom." His time in Arles was also marked by his intense and volatile relationship with Gauguin, culminating in the infamous incident where van Gogh mutilated his ear during a psychotic episode.
Van Gogh's mental health continued to deteriorate, leading to his voluntary admission to the Saint-Paul-de-Mausole asylum in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence in 1889. Despite his struggles, this period was highly productive, with works like "Starry Night" and "Irises" created during his stay. His paintings from this time reflect a blend of intense emotional expression and vibrant, swirling colours.
In May 1890, van Gogh moved to Auvers-sur-Oise to be closer to his brother Theo, who supported him financially and emotionally. Under the care of Dr. Paul Gachet, van Gogh continued to paint prolifically, producing over 70 paintings in the last 70 days of his life. However, his mental health issues persisted, and on July 27, 1890, van Gogh shot himself and died two days later from his injuries.
Vincent van Gogh's artistic legacy endures through his vast collection, encompassing around 2,100 artworks, including about 860 oil paintings. His decisive brushwork, emotive use ofcolour, andskill in capturing the essence of his subjects have made a lasting impact on the art world. Despite selling just one painting during his lifetime, van Gogh's posthumous acclaim soared, cementing his status as one of the most influential artists in Western art history.

Love it. So cheering on these dark days of winter. Thank you John.
I was looking for a print of st ives and came across John dyers work . I particularly like the colours and style of this piece , especially the fat seagulls . It’s complete fun in a frame and reminds us of happy days spent at the harbour
The print is fabulous, beautiful and my sister will love it. Thank you
Really like this picture as it brings brightness to our kitchen diner. We framed it with a white border and blue second border. Looks amazing
We love John’s pictures of France. We already have an original of Nice but bought this poster as it brings back so many wonderful memories.
Superb communication and attentiveness from gallery. The poster is of course wonderful.
Love this print - bright, sunny and makes one feel warm and happy!
Delivery was all easy and straightforward. Many thanks.
The print is even better in real life. It’s printed on beautiful quality paper which makes the colours really pop and the painting itself is simply charming. It brings so much joy to us. We love it! Thank you
A lovely art print bought as a memory of our holidays on the beautiful Isles of Scilly.
The frame is very well made and displays the art print beautifully. Ordering from John Dyer Gallery was simple and delivery swift. I would not hesitate to order from them again.
Thank you so much for the amazing customer service, and most beautiful painting of our favourite place
Absolutely beautiful painting. So thrilled with it. Completely amazing service: beautifully packaged, framed and safely delivered really quickly.
Lovely picture, bought 3 after our recent trip to Cornwall. Already thinking of getting more.
Have walked this coastal path from St Agnes to Chapel Porth and back countless time. I am now pleased that this fabulous print is the first thing I see every morning. Beautiful, happy colours. Nice frame. I’m now planning of ordering one of Mount’s Bay by same artist.
Such a vibrant, pretty piece. I visited Fowey Harbour recently and was looking for a small keepsake to have with me back in the U.S. Shipping abroad was seamless and I received this item quite quickly. I've had many compliments since putting this on my phone and am happy to be reminded of a wonderful trip to a magical place this summer.
As always professional , efficient and prompt .
