| The tortured brushstrokes of this masterpiece, perhaps one of Van Gogh's best known paintings, expresses a simple but dramatic statement, almost religious in its intensity. It is one of the most famous landscapes in the history of art. Three of the highest prices ever paid for art were for works of Van Gogh, yet he was only able to sell one of his works while alive. |
