Fantastic visual journey!

The Vincent van Gogh Atlas 

by Nienke Deneka (Author), René van Blerk (Author), Teio Meedendo (Author), Laura Watkinson (Translator).    

This is a superb production chronicling Vincent van Gogh's life journey--his early days, the places he lived, his various starts and passions, his communications with his family, his artistic development. An in depth look at the river Vincent's life flowed along.

Van Gogh's story is supported by beautifully constructed pages.  Informative maps mark a clear path the most dedicated van Gogh aficionado would love to use for a pilgrimage, if not in actuality, at the very least via the written word, 'travelling in the footsteps" of Vincent van Gogh. Excerpts from letters between Vincent and members of his family are quoted, bringing van Gogh and his family to life. The narrative is accompanied by photographs and postcards from the time. Vincent's sketches and paintings of course occupy a central place.

The layout and supporting content make this a pleasurable book to delve into, investigate from cover to cover, and simply enjoy!
