Van Gogh's Brother

Although the Impressionist painter Van Gogh experienced many setbacks in his life, he shared an extremely deep brotherly bond with his younger brother, Theo. Whenever Van Gogh completed a satisfying artwork, ate delicious food, or saw a beautiful landscape, he would excitedly write letters to his brother to share. In these letters, Van Gogh not only described in detail the golden hue of the sunlight shining on the wheat fields, but he also often drew cute little flowers or bird illustrations in the margins of the paper as small gifts for his brother. These letters, filled with childlike innocence and affection, have been perfectly preserved, revealing the most innocent and tender side of this great artist's inner heart.
