Heart breaking account of last 70 days of Van Gogh ( ) "The Last Van Gogh" followed the last seventy days of Vincent Gogh's life, which were spent in the little French village, Auvers-sur-Oise. Although the first half was quite slow, I appreciated how the author took historical figures and created believable characters, and the book gave a good insight into a woman's lot in life in the 1800s. However, I would have liked a deeper insight into Van Gogh's earlier life. I also found the romance between Vincent and Marguerite Gachet fairly insipid and I thought the author focused too much on Marguerite and not enough on Vincent. For me, the highlight of this book was all the wonderful references to, and descriptions of, Van Gogh's artwork, hence the three stars. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Fiction.
Romance.
Historical Fiction.
HTML: Summer, 1890. Van Gogh arrives at Auvers-sur-Oise, a bucolic French village that lures city artists to the country. It is here that twenty-year-old Maurguerite Gachet has grown up, attending to her father and brother ever since her mother's death. And it is here that Vincent Van Gogh will spend his last summer, under the care of Doctor Gachet - homeopathic doctor, dilettante painter, and collector. In these last days of his life, Van Gogh will create over 70 paintings, two of them portraits of Marguerite Gachet. But little does he know that, while capturing Marguerite and her garden on canvas, he will also capture her heart. Both a love story and historical novel, The Last Van Gogh recreates the final months of Vincent's life - and the tragic relationship between a young girl brimming with hope and an artist teetering on despair. .Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
