Washington DC's National Gallery of Art holds 13 works by Vincent van Gogh (1853–1890) — the city's entire known holding of this artist in a single institution.
Van Gogh only began painting seriously at 27 and was dead by 37, yet in that single decade produced around 900 paintings. He worked in the Netherlands, Paris, Provence, and Auvers-sur-Oise, and his expressive use of colour and bold brushwork became one of the most direct influences on 20th-century art.
