    Van Gogh is my favorite artist too.

    One of the great moments in my life was a visit to Arles in 2007. The entire trip to France was amazing, but I especially loved that connection to Van Gogh. I walked the same streets he walked, saw his “yellow house,” the asylum he stayed in, and the night cafe itself. Positioned myself just so to get the same angle he painted.

    Such a tragedy-riddled life, cut all too short. But oh the paintings he made!!

    Nice break down of the painting in question.

    All of his letters have been translated and are in book form and online now:

    And the main museum (in Holland, I believe) is fantastic as well:
