A very beautiful book about the life of Vincent van Gogh, discovered at the Van Gogh Museum. At first, I wasn’t sure whether I was buying it for my daughter or for myself. In the end, we read it together as soon as possible... and she loved it too.
The illustrations are stunning. The book tries to capture the richness of Vincent’s colors and to convey emotions through them. The colors are bright and powerful, in a way that feels very true to his work, and they beautifully express the feelings he wanted to share.
