This was a great book and very interesting. I love learning about art and artist's work and life. I definitely learnt alot from reading this book. It covers his few months spent in Auvers before his death and the works he completed there. It was very interesting reading about the very small small room that he lived in and that you can still visit it today. It also covers the controversy over his death. Was it suicide, an accident or a murder. It was amazing to read how her became famous after his death and the amount of fakes that was created of his work. It was great that it was wrote in chronological order. At the end of the book there is a very useful timeline and direction to all the places he painted in Auvers. You could tell this book was well researched and it was very well wrote. The cover is wonderful and really stands out. I loved all the pictures in this book. I always find the impressionist era rather interesting.
Many thanks to the author and publishers for creating such a wonderful and insightful look into Van Goghs final months and an independent look at his works.
