Van Gogh in Love

A Romantic Van Gogh Biography — Volume 4 of Secrets of Van Gogh, by Nienke Bos, with an introduction by Liesbeth Heenk

Van Gogh in Love tells the story of Van Gogh's longing for love and a family. It explores the lesser-known area of his (not so!) romantic love life, focusing on the artist's relationships with four striking women: his widowed cousin Kee Vos, the prostitute Sien Hoornik, the unstable neighbor Margot Begemann, and the flamboyant café-owner Agostina Segatori in Paris.

Drawing extensively on Van Gogh's letters to his brother Theo, the book follows Van Gogh's quest for love up until his tragic end — a moving and sensitive portrayal, shedding light on the man behind the iconic paintings.
