“…to me, Van Gogh is the finest painter of them all.Certainly, the most popular, great painter of all time, the most beloved. His command of color the most magnificent. He transformed the pain of his tormented life into ecstatic beauty.Pain is easy to portray, but to use your passion and pain to portray the ecstasy and joy and magnificence of our world…no one had ever done it before. Perhaps, no one ever will again. To my mind, that strange, wild man who roamed the fields of Provence was not only the world’s greatest artist, but also one of the greatest men who ever lived.” - [x]

I just really like the thought of someone whose work was not appreciated in their life, coming back and seeing that they’re considered one of the greatest artists of all time. That last frame just says it all - and it’s how I felt at the Van Gogh museum in Amsterdam, probably my favourite I’ve been to so far.
