Name that face!

Wow - always a skeptic, I did a little research. Apparently, there are few confirmed photographs of Vincent and this is one. He was 19 at the time and they allege it was taken almost 10 years before he started painting.

I started out loving Impressionist work (Renoir, Monet) and developed through life to absolutely adore Van Gogh’s work. I was able to see the massive Van Gogh exhibit at the Clark Institute in Mass a few years ago.… it was amazing!!! I was close enough that I could see the bits of hair and debris that were stuck in the paint. I still think about it.
