Our favorite corner of the Metropolitan Museum of Art
Vincent Van Gogh, 1853-1890, Self-Portrait
Sunflowers
Van Gogh lived such a tragic and tormented life, and yet his art just sings praise to the Creator and the beauty of the creation. I am looking forward to meeting him in Heaven all healed and full of joy. His father was a pastor and Vincent, himself, was also a pastor for part of his short life. They were strong Dutch Christians. But epilepsy and deep depression were Vincent's undoing and he committed suicide when he was just 37 years old. We're blessed that his art lives on.
