Description

The Van Gogh Sisters by Willem-Jan Verlinden is a fascinating biography that sheds new light on the lives of Vincent van Gogh's three sisters, Ana, Lies, and Wil. Based on extensive primary resources, including little-known correspondence between the sisters, this group biography brings their story into the spotlight. At a time of great social change in the 19th century, the Van Gogh sisters recorded their aspirations and dreams, as well as their disappointments and grief. Their intimate discussions of art, poetry, books, personal ambitions, and employment offer a unique insight into the lives of these remarkable women. This compelling account provides a fresh perspective on Vincent van Gogh's childhood and the tumultuous period in which he grew up. By exploring the experiences of Ana, Lies, and Wil, Verlinden deepens our understanding of this complex and often troubled family, revealing a side of their story that has previously gone overlooked.
