Netherlands / Holland: 'Lupanar' (Latin: Brothel), Vincent Van Gogh (1853-1890), oil on canvas, 1887

Vincent Willem van Gogh (30 March 1853 – 29 July 1890) was a Post-Impressionist painter. He was a Dutch artist whose work had a far-reaching influence on 20th century art. His output includes portraits, self portraits, landscapes and still lifes of cypresses, wheat fields and sunflowers.

He drew as a child but did not paint until his late twenties; he completed many of his best-known works during the last two years of his life. In just over a decade, he produced more than 2,100 artworks, including 860 oil paintings and more than 1,300 watercolors, drawings, sketches and prints.

This painting is currently with The Barnes Foundation, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA.
